David, I like your approach the best. Even though the transactions are in a joint account between my son and father, I am legally responsible for my sons activities.  And all of the transactions apply to my farm, not Dads.

Now for the fun part, I have to find all of them and get them moved.  The IRS waits for no one and I am in a serious time crunch.  3 abandoned/orphaned bottle calves and trying to save an abandoned newborn that refuses both bottle and standing up (I definitely do not need a quadriplegic calf right now.  I don't even know where to purchase a wheel chair for a calf). Oh, the joys of being a farmer!

Another approach you could try would be to create  a temporary account in your
dad's books and move the transactions that should have gone into your account
into it.  Should work if all of the transactions have at least one account in
common , e.g. an Asset; bank account or similar.  if not you may need to create
more than one temp account.

You could then export the transactions in that temp accountas an OFX or CSV file
which you could then import into your own books. If the target accounts are the
same in yours and your dad's books they should import  but if not edit those
that aren't. CSV may be more appropriate if you need to edit the transactions
before importing If you then delete the temporary account in your dad's books
and choose to discard the transactions in it you should be good.

I need to move transactions from from one set of books to another one.

I didn't realize while entering transactions in my dads books that they
should have gone into mine.  My dad opened a bank account that I did not
know about until I started entering charges that my son made with feed
stores (debit card).  I had not been informed about the bank account
that grandpa opened in my sons name, and I am responsible for all of his
income/debits until he is 21.  And many of these transactions affect my
income/loss.

Is there an easy way to move those entries from one journal to the other
or will I have to find all of them and manually delete them from one
journal and reenter them in mine?  These are separate journal files.
