I switched from FTM 2014 as well. I'm a real novice with software and do not even know what this did to me. Abt 14,500 people in tree. I do know that much of my media did not carry over and I'm abt 1/3 complete in fixing that. I've been on this project on and off for a month or more. Look forward to really working with Legacy someday. Bill
