I hope you have a date on the Dec backup where you found your missing comments. If it is not part of the file name created by Legacy you can find the file date by checking the file properties. Windows should tell you when the file was created.

In the current file you can search for and tag all those who were added or changed in your file on or after the date of that backup. You can export that tagged group to a new file. Then restore from the good backup file I suggest you assign a new name to this so you do not confuse it with or overwrite your existing file and import the contents of the file of tagged people into your restored file.

You will have to do a merge for all those you modified in the file since they will have been in the backup but now have changes you will need to reconcile.

I have been working on a new line based on DNA discoveries most of this year. Recently I looked at some of my old line and found that all of my several thousand old entries have lost their comments. I checked an old March 2019 backup and they are missing there too. I checked a backup for last December and the comments are there.

I have probably enter well over a thousand new individuals, nearly all with new comments. Is there any way I can recover the lost comments without loosing the new entries and their comments?
