Gregory, I think you will find a number of users on this list who can help you out. I doubt any single person may be able to answer all of your questions.
You would be best served by posting you exact questions, maybe as several posts relating to content. I dont think any problems should be irreconcilable at this point. I have been using Legacy 10+ years now and with the help of an add-on software called LTOOLs and a couple of paid tasks created by the LTools software creator, have been able to efficiently manage converting a 100,000 person database from FTM about 10 years ago. That database is now close to 250,000 Post your requirements and lets get you some answers. It's not as hard as you think and there are many here that have already been down the road ahead of you now.
