I think you have just made a big bucket of worms out of your Legacy data file.
I hope that you have a good backup of it before you did this merging. What ones need to do, in import this GEDCOM into a clean new file. Check it out clean it up, by removing what you do not want and correcting what you can. Filter out all of the strange stuff that you have run into. Then when happy with this new data file, merge it into your working data file.

I have downloaded the gedcom from Ancestry, started a new family file and am trying to import the gedcom. Can anyone explain how I can find out what 'unrecognised items' actually are? One appears to be _MILTID and I simply don't know what to do with it, or what it refers to. Any help much appreciated.
