This is what I did (over a weeks time): - Backed up family file - Exported GEDCOM for upload to Ancestry.com - Made updates on Ancestry.com - Downloaded GEDCOM from Ancestry.com - Imported into Legacy creating a new family file - Merged into new family file from the original
My findings: - My original file (the merge FROM not the merge TO) is missing all kinds of people!? - My original file is missing all kinds of sources!? - My new file contains all the people, but they are not attached correctly. For example, I pick a father from the index, and look at the family page and it correctly shows wife and children. I click on one of the children and the family view is updated to show this person with only a mother!? I click the empty father space and it asks if I want to create a new person or attach to an existing one. I ran the file repair tool, and all it found was 6 image location problems. FWIW, there are people and source citations in the exported GEDCOM that are not longer in my original family file. The archives mention "many catastrophes" due to merging. Does that include the merge FROM file ???
