joan, I just did it.
Created a new database with George a male and Frank a female set them as husband and wife. Then Export the Database to a Gedcom. Then with a text editor find the individual with the incorrect sex, here Frank went from female to male. Save the file. Now import the GedCOM into a new database. Each time you run into this you will have to export out of legacy, make the change and then import back into Legacy. There are ways to directly edit the Microsoft database, but for most this is not recommended. Now when you open the database the Married GEORGE and FRANK both males are correctly identified. john Joan Lalonde wrote: > Thank you.
