Comment by Ron Ferguson on March 19, 2010 at 4:56am: Import from where? Do you mean that it changed your back-up on Restore?

Comment by William Douglas on March 19, 2010 at 4:45am: This morning, I am no fan of Legacy!

The software generated a bug (OK, these things happen), but it meant I had to re-import my database, which has in excess of 150,000 individuals.

Many of these have '1st of'' etc. as parts of their names - e.g. 1st King of Norway.

Now, convention has it that '1st' is '1st' and not '1St', and 'of' is 'of' and not 'Of'.

But Legacy does not agree, and has converted all my entries like this into capitals.

The upload took nearly two hours, and now I am having to go back and do it again, ensuring the 'Format names and places' is unchecked!

It means they have excluded potential problems selected.
Hope this helps, Charlie

Comment by RayDean Hill on March 17, 2010 at 2:22pm: Help, please? In Family View, some of the people have >> after the Husband or Wife label. I know I've seen this before, but I can't remember what it means, I can't find it in Help, and I can't see anything common among the people with those brackets. If you can tell me what those brackets mean, I'd appreciate it! :) Thanks!

Comment by Geoff Rasmussen on March 14, 2010 at 3:37pm: David, as soon as you are able to sign up for a new.familysearch.org account, the nFS features in Legacy will be available to you. We (Millennia) don't have any further control over the restriction. If you have an account, it can be used. If not, it cannot be used.

Comment by Ron Ferguson on March 14, 2010 at 3:13pm: David, I am less than certain that the email to which you refer actually has the meaning which you have taken from it. Certainly I am less than convinced, and will await further clarification from FS, before jumping to conclusions.

Comment by David L Plaskett on March 14, 2010 at 2:57pm: A few weeks ago I commented on being "left at the gate" on the new version of Legacy and the disappointment that the church did not include "the rest of us" in access to the data base that many of us volunteered to create. Legacy announced that it was the church that did the blocking although the block was part of Legacy. I now have an email from the church that indicates there will be a announcement next week about letting the rest of us use the new data. My question now is will Legacy allow us to get by the "Block" and if it is possible how does it happen?

Comment by RayDean Hill on March 14, 2010 at 1:38pm: It sounds to me like you have the LDS Options turned on (Options > Customize > General tab. LDS features = lower right corner of that tab) and John J. Smith has information entered in the LDS baptism field. If you don't want the {B } to display on the Family View, uncheck the box for "Show BEPSC on Family View." I hope that helps! :)
