I think it has something to do with the format of Legacy's source templates more than it has to do with RootsMagic or Rootsweb. I have a feeling that importing a GEDCOM will have the same result because I had major problems with the source format when uploading a GEDCOM exported from Legacy 7.0 to Rootsweb's WorldConnect.

As much as I like all the features of RootsMagic, I'm not sure if I like them enough to reformat 99% of my sources. I will have to reformat just about all my sources in RootsMagic.

This may be what prevents me from switching to RootsMagic. At first glance, I think I will copy the vital record state-level certificate online image template and add a field for the volume number and alternate fields for the county and year, as sometimes FamilySearchLabs does not reference the volume number.Īnother thing I noticed is that if I import my family tree directly out of Legacy 7.0, the sources get all jumbled up in the import. I am printing out all of the instructions for creating a new template. That may have to wait until tomorrow, as it seems like a daunting task, and it is getting late. Hmmm.time to experiment with creating a new template. Since the registrations I'm looking at are actual images and not just derivatives, the derivatives template won't work either. The state-level certificates, online images template doesn't work because there is not a field to put the volume number in the source detail.

I'm looking at the Michigan state-level birth registers that are digitized at FamilySearchLabs. Neither one of these quite fits what I'm looking for. There is a template for state-level vital records that are online derivatives, and there is a template for state-level certificates that are online images.

It is the template for a state-level registration that is an online image. I just discovered one template in RootsMagic that may be missing.
