Hi Sandra, I also had one of those wierd @----@ show up in my file, so I am following this thread with great interest. Although I still haven't found the right GEDCOM that I imported which caused the trouble, the advice I received from the list was very helpful in understanding the problem. First, in Legacy I don't have an event called "Ancestor intere," so it appears to me that this event would be a custom event created by the person whose GEDCOM you imported. Second, it seems that the name of this event has been cut off at the end. Can you tell by the nature of the data accompanying this event (if there is any) what that word might be? I think I would have the dictionary open to all words beginning with *intere* searching for something that might make sense. If I am understanding you correctly, the @Sub1@ appears in the event Place field, and you are moving it from the Place field to the Description field. Is that right? If that is so, is there any particular reason why you decided to do that? You're right. It can do no harm, especially if you do them all that way. Then if you ever discover what the event called "Ancestor entere" was and Sub1 in the GEDCOM referred to, it would be a relatively simple matter to find them all so you could change them back to whatever it was meant to be. -- Alice

I move the @Sub1@ from the field for place and put it above the field for date. And everyone came from a gedcom imported I also have counted the ones that I moved slowly as I came across them, one by one it seems there were more than 1100 imported which means that I have moved quite a bit. Thank you so much for the help Ron, Terry and Dennis. I think that I will just keep moving them as I find them and not delete them. What could it hurt??? I will not import another gedcom ever,ever; I will not import another gedcom ever,ever; I will not import another gedcom ever,ever 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
