Valerie,
If you want to turn on the option for Legacy to make a list of your
files, you need to go to Options > Customise 12.5. Click the button and
then go to the Messages tab at the bottom and change the option there.

When you want to Open or Import a file, which option are you using -
"Select the file using the Windows dialog box" or "Have Legacy create
a list of files to choose from"?
Personally, I prefer to use the first one, but I think my files are
very well-organized and I usually know exactly where I want to look
for a particular file. I think it might be helpful to you to put all
your Gedcoms into one folder, then look at each one and decide what
you want to do with it.
I would also look at the other files - text documents, Word documents,
Excel spreadsheets and so on and make a list of them with a
description of what each one contains, then perhaps gather them into
one or two folders and make a note of where you saved them.
Once you know what's what and where it is you can have Legacy open
each Gedcom in turn (remember to use File>Import for Gedcoms) and
create a new file. When you are happy with the contents of the files
you can start to merge them. If I were you I would try and concentrate
on one particular branch of your family to start with and get that
organized before you move on.

Thanks for this Carolyn but I am in a huge MESS.
Some of you have tried to help me before but I am here now to FIX IT
ALL please ?
I appear to have .ged’s everywhere. When I do a windows key .ged I get
9 full pages of various record types – please excuse me if I am not
using the correct terminology.
On these 9 pages I have the following:
GED file
Text documents
Microsoft word documents
Compressed (zipped) Folders
Microsoft Excel Worksheets
And some other odd “ things “
Some of these .ged’s do not appear in the list when you try and File –
Open but with File – import there are some there as well as some folders.
HELP please
Cheers from Valerie

Hi Valerie,
With the GEDCOM, download it to your home screen or a folder, then
IMPORT it as a new file in Legacy.
That way you can check it out before and if you want to merge it with
another Legacy file.
Sorry I can't help you with DNA Painter, or the HR Pavilion, but Mrs
Google can answer most questions, she will often point you to a You
Tube video which IO find very helpful.
Good luck!
Carolyn
