I think Alice and Val are going in different directions and confusing each other. I think Val went from FTM to Legacy and had a hard time getting Notes over. I think Alice wants to go from Legacy to FTM 10.

As a test, I just moved my 10,830+ person file to FTM 10 from Legacy 5.0 via GEDCOM. I used the Legacy transfer option. There were over 19,000 errors reported by FTM on import. However, in spite of these errors, all the BMD data that I checked went over ok. I've not found any problem with notes and the standard Events. Ya do get "Y"s in the death field for folks that Legacy figures are dead and for which there isn't a death date and place. I am NOT saying that everything is perfect and all those 19,000 errors can be ignored, but I am saying that checking a file for 5 minutes shows no major problems other than the "Y"s mentioned earlier. Alice I'm sure your notes will go FROM Legacy TO FTM without a hitch. And if they don't, it might be a good opportunity to suggest gently to your relative that you might be able to co-operate better if he/she switched to Legacy. jr Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
