This process creates a Legacy database file that can then be merged with your existing database file.

Open the current file and use "Save As" to save it as a separate file - a backup of the original if you like. It should contain all the same references to images and other files. Call this File b. Now, take this copy of your original file (File B) and merge the cleaned-up GEDCOM file (File A) with it. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) 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).
