Ron... thank you for responding. I appreciate your thoughts. The problem is not with Rootsweb, but rather the info transferred from Family Tree Maker 2006 via Gedcom to my Legacy program. I still have the data from the transfer date on the FTM files, but some of the notes did not get passed to Legacy in the transfer. I was able to fix those that I know about by creating a FTM Genealogy Report into Microsoft Word and then copying it for transfer to my Legacy file. Time consuming, but it worked. I worry about those I don't know about, but once they are detected, I will do the same process again. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Carol, I was rather hoping that someone could have given you a definative answer to this question but it seems not. I do not know what Rootsweb includes in it's downloads, nor in what format, but if it is a Gedcom then you can have a look at it in Notepad and see if the notes are there. If so it would seem that Rootsweb may call them something else for the Gedom and you would need to check "put unrecognised items into the Notes field" - that wording may not be exactly right. You can then download into a new Legacy file and merge where necessary. If there are no Notes in the Gedcom then they haven't been downloaded. Again, I don't know if Roorsweb allows the download of Notes, or you may have to state exactly what data you wish to download. To answer your point about pressing a button - I'm afraid not.
