Valerie,
Yes you could tag them and then export that tag group to a new LEGACY
file and then import that LEGACY file into your main file.
You don't go from Legacy to Legacy using a Gedcom.

That's great thankyou Cathy.
I will give that a go and probably make a note of those that need to
be imported. Could I then create a file of only those needled and
import those as a gedcom.

If you want to read through the files to see which records to keep,
use Split Screen View with your new Master on the left and one of the
other files on the right.
I'd open both to Index View and sort Index View the same way so you
can see if there are people in the right file that aren't in the left
file. If there are, you can drag and drop from one file to the other -
but you have to move from Index View to Family View to do that.
If you choose to import the other files into your new Master then yes
you'll need to use merge and yes you'll have 1000s of records to
merge. There isn't a way to set the options to cut that down much. I
doubt you'll be able to use the Intellishare option as you seem to
have been uploading and downloading from Ancestry - but you could try.

I have 3 copies of higginsondodds and have now decided which it the
one that I will keep.
Now I want to open the one to keep and read through several other
higginsonodds to see what reocrds are in the second one that are not
in the one I inted=nd keeping as the new master.
When I tried this through merge I hade over 3 thousnand records to merge.
Obvioulsy I need the change the ‘ CONDITIONS OF THE MERGE “
Can I have some simple to follow steps please
AND THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL ASK THIS QUESTION - grin
Cheers from Valerie Garton nee Vaughan in sunny Sydney
