Family Historian 7.0.14.1 has been released by Calico Pie, Ltd. This is a major update to the GEDCOM-based genealogy software for Windows, particularly for those importing from Legacy Family Tree. In fact, out of the 11 entries in the changelog/version history, 7 of them were focused on improving Legacy Family Tree imports.
Calico Pie has also updated the Importing from Legacy page on the Family Historian website.
Update from Calico Pie, Ltd: The import “should work with just about any version of Legacy (the earliest we have tested against is version 4), but for best results, we recommend either version 9 or 10. ”

| Direct Import from Legacy Family Tree |
| The direct import now include includes individuals’ medical and research notes. |
| Fixed a bug which was preventing alternative names from being included. |
| Some date formats that previously were not supported now are. |
| Some types of source citation that previously were not included in the import, now are. This includes sources citations for names (including alternative names), records as a whole (“unspecified” in the Legacy Event list), marriage events, medical notes and research notes. |
| The way that source citation notes and “Source Detail” were imported from Legacy has now changed slightly, and been made more consistent with the way these are handled in the GEDCOM import. |
| The interpretation of Legacy’s “Surety Level” has been changed slightly to make it consistent with the way Legacy interprets this information when generating GEDCOM Files. |
| The Importing from Legacy page on the Family Historian website, which details how to find imported items, has been updated to reflect these changes. It is recommended reading for anyone importing from Legacy. |
| Miscellaneous Changes |
| Fixed a problem which in certain circumstances could cause incorrect positioning of boxes in All Relatives diagrams. |
| A missing or defective picture could cause reports to be truncated. This has been fixed. |
| When you add or edit a data item in the Individual Summary report or Family Group Sheet, you will now be warned if the label and/or expression are too long. |
| Some fields in the Media Report (Title, Format and File) were not displaying correctly. This has been fixed. |
