Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. I did load my data using a GED file. After reading I went back and did some detailed checking. I did find my data. However, it is different and I do not know exactly what the problem is. I will have to look a little harder. My Images did not transfer, so that is something I will have to work with. I do have all of my images in a non-Ancestry directory, so that might be the problem. I will change the Media directory pointer in Legacy and see if it resolves the references. If not, I will have to reconnect manually.

Whatever I did media files followed but we're all associated as Individual rather than with any other possibility such as a cemetery picture with Burials. Had to sort that out and well remembered as it took me forever to do that.
