Gene, A gedcom is a text file which will open with any text editor. WordPad or NotePad work well and they won't add any new formatting. If the name in Legacy is marked "private" you will see that in the area of the name in the gedcom. In WordPad (at least) you can do a search and replace.

Bob, When I check these individuals in TNG, the Living box is unchecked, and the Private box is checked. In every case, the individuals are deceased. I just tried using a gedcom exported from Legacy v.800.397 and am getting the same problem. Does anyone know how I can check the gedcom to look for the private setting therein and perhaps to a search and replace? I can't find it.
