<<When I select the first option (creates new family file), it seems to import
the selected family file but seems to REPLACE the name list instead of ADDING
to the name list and pedigree. Therefore, some of the individuals in the name
list are now gone even though I selected IMPORT FROM. >>
When you create a new file, all the old ones are gone, and that is what you see
here
<<When I select the second option ("Add the Legacy information to the EXISTING
Family File".), it seems to import the individuals but the imported indivduals
only show up the in the name list and not the pedigree. Does this mean I have
to manually place the names back on the family tree?>>
All the individuals you see in the name list are really in the file, but the
program does not know where to join the two files. Presumably there will be
some individual common to both files. If so, find the 2 copies of that person
and merge them. If no one is common between the two files, then you have to
link them. You can have the parents on the family screen, for example, then
choose link to an already existing child, or link to a spouse. Once the
families are linked, they will appear properly in the pedigree.
You can check to see if you have any orphan trees by going to View>Tree finder.
