Kathy, I have been there.
If you look at the new database from Windows Explorer> Properties and look for the file Date Created. That should match up with when you think this started. Then Open your database in Legacy and run a search Find>Detailed Search> Search for >Indivudual > Modified dated > (enter "Aft" the day before your "Date Created") ( so if it was created on 11/2/2013 Then use after 01 Nov 2013) Then tag all the persons in the search results. Create a gedcom export containing all the persons tagged. Any Sources etc should automatically be included. But I always double check after importing the resulting gedcom into the correct database. Hope that make sense and helps. Jay On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 12:25 PM, Kathy Meyer <kmeyer2...@gmail.com> wrote: > I really hate it when this happens.
