Arlene,Legacy will import from the regular PAF database but it does not import a PAF zipped backup file. If you only have the backup file, you will have to import it to PAF and then have Legacy import it directly from the PAF file or use PAF to make a GEDCOM. The direct import is much easier. One thing that I recommend before importing from a PAF file is to have PAF do a check/repair because many times there are structural flaws which should be fixed before trying to use the PAF data.Ron Taylor

I went to import from PAF and Legacy could not find PAF backup (zip) file. I finally had to make a gedcom to import. What was I doing wrong?Arlene from Utah Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
