Re: [LegacyUG] Adrian's gedcom with my additions.ged
Valerie, Did you see Cathy Pinner's email on how to import a .ged GEDCOM file? It was dated a while before you posted this question and it was in a thread named Hints- only getting FMP which you hijacked to post about changing a gedcom to a legacy file. In Legacy use File > Import and select GEDCOM as the kind of file to import. You will be given the opportunity to give the file a name during the import so there is no need to open a new Legacy file first. Legacy will create the new file for you.

Can I do this and if so how ? Indeed you can! Open Legacy and if it automatically opens an old Family File, use File>Close File. With Legacy open but no file open, use File>Import and select "Gedcom file..." Locate the folder where "Adrian's gedcom file with my additions.ged" is located and click on it to open it. Legacy will then ask you to give a name to the new Family File and you can choose where to save that if you don't want it where Legacy suggests.
