Gloria,
You were given the best answer on the Facebook group by Brian Kelly some
time before any responses here.
For others who get into this muddle:
Search > Find > Detailed Search tab
Individual Modified Date after the date you started using
the wrong file
Tag and export the search list to a new Legacy file and either review
those people with split screen or import them and then merge in the
correct file.
Note there will be people in this list that you haven't modified IF you
use Save instead of Cancel when you just open someone's information to
take a look.
Bottom line: If you make a new temporary file for some reason, delete it
when you are done. When it is open, use File > Delete File.

Gloria,
If the new family file was exactly the same as the original before the
11 days of adding new data, you could keep the new family file as your
main one.

Gloria,
There is a “date added” and “time added” in the search criteria, but
this will only find brand new individuals (not changes made).
Maybe helps…

another family file
Hi,
For whatever reason I can no longer recall, I began a "new" family
file using my older family file, meaning it was the same file but
different name. I obviously then forgot to move to my main family file
to continue doing my usual inputting of information and where I do all
my work. Unknowingly, I kept working on this "new" file for 11 days
before I switched back to the family file I always work with, and the
only file I want. I want to move only the portion that is new from the
new file to the more established file, where I should have been
inputting information in the first place. I tried many things, such as
importing the entire "new" file into the established file but with
over 30,000 individuals in my tree, that produced 900,000 duplications
to review based on the criteria I chose. I tried the help index, read
up on tagging and hashtags, to no avail. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help,
Gloria
