Lucy Abbott,
Remember to save the file as PLAIN text with the ".ged" file extension,
or it will include "garbage" you do not want from what I have been told
in the past.

Give me an option here that I can use. I want to stay with Est
because there is no way that I know of to change all the ones on
Ancestry and I had planned on downloading a Gedcom and merging that
file with my Legacy file once I have done all the research at that
site. Without this correction, many more hours will need to be used
on the merge. My merge is scottish names and 60% are duplicate type
names due to naming conventions so hours and hours are needed for the
merge and this has me frustrated thinking of how many more hours will
be needed to change the dates headings.
If it turns out that you DO have to change "est" to something else, it
needn't take hours. If you open your Gedcom as a Legacy file you
could use the Search & Replace function to change all the instances of
"est" in each Date field. Granted, not a single-step option, but
wouldn't take too long. In fact, a Gedcom being text file I think you
could probably do the Search & Replace in the Gedcom with WP program.)
