Have you looked at the Legacy Help file under Gedcoms>Import? "Baptism versus Christening
Some genealogy programs export christening information into a GEDCOM file using the BAPM tag instead of CHR. You can have Legacy put this information into the Christening fields during the import rather than having a Baptism event created in the Event List by selecting this option." This may work in reverse also.

The programme I was using is Generations Family tree. I have looked back at it to see if I can switch my information around before creating a gedcom. This would involve me sending one back from Legacy, switching and then creating a new one in Generations to put back on Legacy! BUT I can't see how to switch in Generations either, I can rename the Baptism field, but I'm not sure what happens then when you create a gedcom. So I think I am stuck with just copying the info from baptism to christening whenever I come across it, as I am concerned I am going to lose some information. Thanks Brett, I think it is beyond me! Thanks again, Belinda ----- Original Message ----- From: Belinda Cohen To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 9:48 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Baprism and Christening entries I have imported my tree by gedcom from another programme, where all my Christenings were listed as Baptisms. These now show up in the Event/Fact section of a Person's Individual Information, but are not visible in Family View. Can I change the 'Christening' tab which is a default in Family View , to Baptism, and will my information then move from the Events below so that they are shown on the Family view? My only other option seems to be to copy individually each entry, but my tree is too large.
