The GED was inserted into a brand-new database. ONLY the people from the GED and those added since are in there.
I followed Mike's hint about various notes, and then poked around in the HELP files, and am still coming up blank on where Legacy has put these. Boyd's suggestion to re-export and be more careful in what I export is mostly likely to be the answer, but I can, maybe, GED out of Legacy and delete this stuff from there. Or at the VERY least find out where Legacy has it hidden. (g) Cheryl Ron Taylor wrote: > Did the data you wish to keep also have Custom ID numbers? I > assume you mean UserID numbers.
