Dee: Just be aware that if you create a GEDCOM in Legacy (or probably any other gen software) and post it at RootsWeb WorldConnect, data inside the angle brackets will disappear. I thought they were a great way to flag probable but unproven dates and locations until I saw the results and had to backtrack.
