Bill, Have you done as suggested by others and loaded your GEDCOM, as recommended, into a new Legacy file before merging it into your main Legacy DB?
Whilst I have never needed to load a large an FTM generated GEDCOM into Legacy, I do know that those who have recommend this practice.

Boswell To: Legacy Family Tree List Sent: 22 September 2009 18:59 Subject: [LegacyUG] More Major Problems With Legacy--Role Reversal After practically giving up on my last GEDCOM import into Legacy, I did a new one that is just as messed up as the first. I just discovered that I have a person Marie G. Kelly who married Samuel E. Boswell. I'm finding two Marie Kelly's: one with a husband and one without. She is not listed twice in the index for some strange reason. With the husband, she's listed as the husband and her husband is listed as the wife. When I tried to attach her husband, it said I couldn't attach a wife to a female. I'm am so frustrated with this transition from FTM 2009 that I'm ready to say the hell with it. Last night I updated all of the cemetery photo information and relinked everything. All grave images are linked, but the other thousands will have to be relinked anyway because there's tons of duplicates. I wish someone would scrap GEDCOM and come out with a workable solution to converting between genealogy programs. It's getting so genealogy is not fun anymore and not worth all this work. It's more of a pain having to relink over 8,000 images and I'm not a big fan of Legacy's way of organizing images. It needs improvement. Ninety nine percent of my problem I blame on FTM 2009.
