I did a little more digging around and figured out how to get individual ID numbers to display on the “Individual’s Information” screen, in Legacy Family Tree. That was bugging the crap out of me. And, in doing so, I also made it turn on the ID numbers that had been assigned by Family Tree Maker. This is HUGE.
When I migrated from Cumberland Family Tree, years ago, Family Tree Maker assigned its own ID numbers. It was a total pain in the ass to have everyone renumbered, because I rely on those numbers for searching and note-taking. When you have 10 people with the same name, living in the same place, who are close to the same age, having easy to track unique identifiers is important! At that point in time, I had only about 1/4 the paper files I do now, and even then it was an overwhelming task to change the ID numbers on each and every piece of paper.
I was afraid I’d have to go through that again, but I won’t. It’s like every damn holiday rolled up into one, yo!
There are still some things that didn’t transfer properly. I lost events and most of the media files are gone. That’s annoying, but I can deal with fixing those problems. Renumbering every freaking piece of paper? NOPE.
