Ron Ferguson replied to Gregory P. Monette's discussion I edit my Lgacy files thru Dropbox. Sometimes Legacy indicates that my file, is "Conflicted". Does anyone else have this problem? If so what does mean? in the group Legacy Family Tree fans

Ron Ferguson replied to Cliff Gittens's discussion How to create a list of persons with a specific surname who are not linked to any parents in the group Legacy Family Tree fans

"Thanks, Cliff, that clarifies it, I just wondered if my suggestion re islands had been proven incorrect."

Ron Ferguson replied to Cliff Gittens's discussion How to create a list of persons with a specific surname who are not linked to any parents in the group Legacy Family Tree fans

"Glad that you are having some success. Is there a reason why you did not include a search for unlinked individuals as I suggested? I am not entirely certain, but it seems to me that this group of "islands" would not have parents either,…"

"Sarah, I have reported your problem to Legacy and it has been registered as a bug, so hopefully will be corrected in the not too distant future."

"If, when importing your GEDCOM, you click the option of putting unrecognised items in the Notes, Field then the vital events Description details should go there. I have not tested this, but it is what I would expect."
