I've stored the photos in the ....\legacy\data\pictures folder but once I export it (either as a Legacy Gedcom or a 5.5 Gedcom) and then import to here, there are no photo's to be seen. Same happens when importing it to TribalPages.... Any pointers?? cheers Shell

I'm more than happy to give away copies of certificates I have paid for but I'm certainly not going to sit there and individually load them onto each site I publish my tree on. Oh well. Thanks for prompt responses. cheers Shell
