I switched from FTM, but 2006 or somewhere back there. I am still in the process of moving over to Legacy 8 via GEDCOM. My trees are much smaller, and I am certainly not a Legacy architect. I am just bumbling along. So far, I have noticed that in the General Notes, there are a lot of spaces in the middle of words that need to be fixed. In trying the Descendant Narrative Book Report, some information comes out in a strange and less than complete form. I believe it was the area in FTM where you could put in "Religion", "Residence", "Occupation", or "Education", etc. and then a date and information. In the Legacy report I get "She had a religion between 1943 and 1950. She had a religion between 1975 and 1995." "He had a residence between 1943 and 1965." I figured that my only option was to rewrite this information and put it into the General Notes. If anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them. I don't have tons of this sort of information in my trees, but it would be easier if I did not have to rewrite. Priscilla
