Hi Belinda
I have just done a quick check and I think the conversion of the gedcom file
should work if you open the .GED file with your text editor and replace "1
BAPM" with "1 CHR" for the whole file (using find and replace), before you save
the changed file and import it into a new Legacy file. If you make a copy of
the gedcom first, then work with the copy, if it goes wrong you have lost
nothing. When you save it, you may need to save it as a .TXT file, then rename
it .GED, before you import (depending on how your text editor does a save-as).
Its not too hard to try, and can save a lot of work.
Cheers, Brett

Thank you to everyone who replied to my question.
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!
Thanks again, Belinda

Hi Belinda
If you cannot map the Christening data to the Baptism tab in some way using
the software the data was exported from, or in Legacy during an import, you
may be able to do it by editting the gedcom file in a word processor/text
edittor. It would probably require a test to see if it worked. Let me know
if you want more detail about the process.

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.
