* Importing Legacy - all marriage source citations are gone

Importing from another genealogy program? This is the place to ask. Questions about Exporting should go in the Exporting sub-forum of the General Usage forum.

Importing Legacy - all marriage source citations are gone

Post by ACGenea » 23 Apr 2023 12:24

Hello,

I've started using FH a couple of weeks ago and I like it very much. But now I realized all my source citations (and notes for the citations) for marriages/relations are gone.
Citations for birth and death have been imported correctly.

I've opened my Legacy file in FH, so I didn't import via GEDCOM.

Is there a way that I can get my source citations back?

When I look in the project-gedcom file I can't find the citations. Is there a way to make a gedcom export from Legacy and import it into my FH project and combine records so the source citations for marriages can be added?

Mediafiles from the source citations have been imported into FH, but they are not linked to any record.

I hope someone can help me.

Arjanne

I've just made a gedcom from my Legacy file and imported it into a new FH project. All marriage source citations are there, so I must have done something wrong the first time I imported my Legacy file into FH.

Now I have to do some reading about merging files so I can add the marriage source citations into my FH file from the GEDCOM import. I don't want it to overwrite other changes I have made since starting to use FH (for example the occupation fields etc.).

Is there a plugin that can only merge certain fields and leave other fields as they are? So, in my case, only marriage source citations are merged?

Kind regards,
Arjanne
