Legacy LVUG Community

What's going to happen with Legacy User Groups when Google+ is shutdown.

I have a quick question for those in this group - we plan to move all the posts and comments into a blog, but I am just wondering where our members are at online. Do you use only our LVUG Google+ community or do you also use Facebook and/or Legacy News. Feel free to comment about how you get your Legacy news, tips and how-tos. Thanks

GOOGLE+ UPDATE You have probably seen that Google has moved up the shutdown date for Google+ from August to April 2019! Last week I mentioned that Shannon Thomas and I were working out how to move all the content from our Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community to a blog. Cousin Russ and a few other genealogists with Google+ groups have recently done this AND it seems to work for them. So I went through the download process last weekend and read up on best ways to export the data, maintain it, and import it in to a blog format. There are some good articles online about how to move data seamlessly and how to plan the move to a blog. Shannon and I will chat and play around with the blog format - we want posts and comments to be easy to find and we want to make sure that you will be able to find it and, most importantly, we want to make sure that it works before we "go live." More to follow ...

Update of how we continue the spirit of Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community now that Google is closing down Google+ and apologies that I have been missing in action - spent the last two months helping parents move from their home to an "aging in place" residence (a really nice high rise with lots of benefits) and then moved my aunt up from San Francisco to be with family as she enters hospice - what a couple of months! But I DID NOT FORGET THAT GOOGLE+ IS CLOSING DOWN AND WE NEED TO MOVE (as well). What's with all this moving? Shannon and I have been looking at what Cousin Russ did with his Google+ Community - he moved all the data over to a blog and it will "house" previous posts and comments. It seems to be working a treat AND SO our project over the next three weeks is to export the Community data and then set up on blog (on either WordPress or Blogger - probably Blogger). There are a few ways to do it and so it might take a few days once we ge...

Yes, I'm still here and still trying to figure out how to eliminate these unwanted people without losing my whole database. Not that I don't think there are those on this list that are very experienced with this program as I'm certain there are; however, I wish someone who is with the company would get online and explain to all of us how to safely delete these people. Is Jim Terry still with the company; always had great luck working through problems/questions with him as he not only could give me the solutions but the logic behind the answers in a form I easily understood. Going back to the problem: Years ago when I first started with this program, another party gave me a Gedcom copy of a One name study (let's use the name WILSON as an example) he had done that was based on a name I also had and that at the time we thought was also related to the one person named Wilson I had in my tree. His source for all the people in this Gedcom we'll say was nam...

Questions regarding TREE FINDER (View>Trees) Legacy 9 and deleting all parties in database that have one specific Source. I am trying to delete all parties and their relatives who have a specific Source as the people identified with this source as I do not want these people in my database (not in any way related to me). So I went to View, Master Lists and clicked on sources, found that specific source, and then clicked on Show List and tagged those people. At the very top of the page listing all those people that are tagged, it says "All individuals who Use this Master Source 3735". DOES that mean that I will be deleting 3735 people? I won't be deleting anyone until I get an answer from someone who definitely knows and has maybe tried deleting in this manner. Now, how does the TREE FINDER fit into this, or does it? BTW, it shows that I have 198 trees and shows a count number ranging from a low of 1 person in the tree to the highest of 9291 people, I think ...
