Belinda, I am now very uncertain as to what you are after. In my first post I said that you can change *all* christenings to baptisms by using Options>Customise>Data Format . I was then going off memory, so I have checked, and right enough my christenings have been changed. I then ran a Descendant Report and, in the Preview, the wording has been changed, so I created a text file and now myself and my siblings are baptised and not christened. Isn't this what you are after?

The programme I was using is Generations Family tree. I have looked back at it to see if I can switch my information around before creating a gedcom. This would involve me sending one back from Legacy, switching and then creating a new one in Generations to put back on Legacy! BUT I can't see how to switch in Generations either, I can rename the Baptism field, but I'm not sure what happens then when you create a gedcom. So I think I am stuck with just copying the info from baptism to christening whenever I come across it, as I am concerned I am going to lose some information. Thanks Brett, I think it is beyond me!

It would probably require a test to see if it worked. Let me know if you want more detail about the process. Cheers, Brett Robinson ----- Original Message ----- From: Belinda Cohen To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 9:48 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Baprism and Christening entries I have imported my tree by gedcom from another programme, where all my Christenings were listed as Baptisms. These now show up in the Event/Fact section of a Person's Individual Information, but are not visible in Family View. Can I change the 'Christening' tab which is a default in Family View , to Baptism, and will my information then move from the Events below so that they are shown on the Family view? My only other option seems to be to copy individually each entry, but my tree is too large.
