The question is why did you use a Gedcom to go from Legacy to Legacy? There is an export to Legacy file - though it doesn't have as many options to customise the fields, it does transfer all the data. The only time you'd consider using a gedcom to go from Legacy to Legacy is when for some reason you are going to an earlier version.
The SourceWriter sources transfer via Gedcom fine for something that requires a gedcom - but they transfer as basic sources. Cathy [email protected] wrote: > > Yes.
