Don would you be willing to share the VBAs? Jessica Morgan

Don, I'm sorry I don't have an answer for your dilemma, but TNG also maintains an email list for its users and it has quite a few programmer types involved there as well as the owner/creator of the software. If there is a way to do what you need, they might be able to help. A large number of them use Legacy and TNG.

Jay, That works for the “delete” lines, but doesn’t help with the “add” lines that are needed for the “secondary” individuals to get their “own” event. I don’t want to give up the Share feature of Legacy because it’s a big time saver. But I do want accurate trees in Ancestry to help with my research, and in TNG (though I’m just starting there) to get my tree on to the Web. I ‘m going to play around with importing the text GED file into Excel and writing some VB macros to do what is needed. Was hoping to avoid that effort.

Try Using Notepad++ for editing your gedcom Search for 2 _Shar and select the "find all lines with this" then repeat the process for the 3 _Role Then at least you can see all the lines and I think you can even delete them all at once. Otherwise I would just go back to Legacy 7.5 and use that to keep in sync.

The partial GED file below shows that the changes are not complicated and could be made manually in a text editor – except for the fact that family files may have 100s or 1000s of shared events/individuals. Way too many to do by hand. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` 0 @I1@ INDI 1 NAME Peter /Piper/ 2 GIVN Peter 2 SURN Piper 1 SEX M 1 CENS 2 DATE 1999 2 PLAC San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States 1 CENS [copied below] 2 DATE 2000 [copied below] 2 PLAC San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States [copied below] 2 _SHAR @I2@ [deleted] 3 ROLE Household Member [deleted] 1 _UID A519BE2CF0BB421B99E9EB0ACD7F34EF961A 1 CHAN 2 DATE 17 Jul 2014 3 TIME 11:29 1 FAMS @F1@ 0 @I2@ INDI 1 NAME Mary /Contrary/ 2 GIVN Mary 2 SURN Contrary 1 SEX F 1 CENS 2 DATE 1999 2 PLAC San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States 1 CENS [inserted] 2 DATE 2000 [inserted] 2 PLAC San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States [inserted] ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Thanks for your ideas.
