I understand, Sherry, but I did not receive the file as a GEDCOM, but as a Legacy file. I will ask the person who sent it if he can do it again using the settings you suggest.

When you're doing the import, click on the Customize button and select the option "Convert the GEDCOM tab BAPM to CHR while importing" Then those events will be correctly imported into Legacy. If you leave it as BAPM, the data imports as an event. The Help file for 'GEDCOM Items to Import: states 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. If you created a new file with the gedcom (as you always should before importing that into your main Family File), just delete that import and start over. If you imported directly into your Family File, restore the backup you created before you did the import and try again with the setting mentioned above.

I opened it as a separate Legacy file and need to tidy it up quite a bit. One thing is that all the Baptism events have ended up in Events/Facts and I want to convert them to be listed with the main data under Born. I know how to do this individually, but there are hundreds. Any ideas on how to do it more easily and quickly?
