Robert I have to do what you did - thanks for pioneering and providing a map of admirable clarity - plus several similar tasks. How does Ancestry label the UID in a gedcom, and how did you re-map? Also, is the positioning in the ancestry gedcom identical or equivalent, so a simple global replace of Ancestry's tag with _UID a text editor like GEDIT would work?
Related, using Intellishare Merge, can't one fix the UID, import into a file copy, and just flag the wanted data as each match is presented - editing as desired as you go? (Most of my Intellishare Merges are updates or deletions, jjust selection of whether right or left field survives, but some require combination of data from both, easy to do at that point using cut-and-paste or even a complete rewrite of the intended survivor field, and much helped by the provision of all individual views and family structure on the far right.) kb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Mann" <roem...@bellsouth.net> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 1:03:06 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Exchange with Ancestry.com Round 2 snip 5) Import the new GEDCOM file to a Legacy database, making sure to re-map the field Ancestry.com calls UID to the field Legacy calls _UID.
