*Emphasis: *Can I add the updated ancestry.com information to my present legacy tree without losing any of the information already added to the legacy tree (to do lists, repositories, etc)? * Yes. But the risk you have is you might have your family file just the way you want it. If you import a Gedcom, it can change the way you like to enter things. Example. If you import a Gedcom with a lot of prefixes such as Mr. Dr. Rev. in the name, but you prefer prefixes to go in the prefix field. You would then have to check everyone to get them to your style.
A better way, I think, is to import the Gedcom into a file by itself first. Change everything to what you personally prefer. After you get it to your liking, then import that into your "main" file. This is what I do- often the file I am importing will have locations formatted differently, and I like to change them to my favorite format before importing. Welcome aboard. Don't hesitate to ask us anything you have questions about. **Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!
