My feeling is that you should import the GEDCOM into a new Legacy file
and verify it, which should be good but might be dependent on how longer
ago you created it. Then you can create a copy of your live Legacy file
and merge the new one into that. That would ensure that you do not
override your current live file, though you could make a backup of it
first. Once the result is good you can then create a new master file
from it.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Merging a gedcom to my master file
I understand there are two ways to merge a gedcom to my master files:
one by merging the gedcom file directly into the master file; the other
is to use the gedcom to create a new LFT file, then merge that database
into the master file. That latter seems a lot more complicated.
My question is, which is the easiest and best way to do this to assure
no problems. The gedcom is not all that big, perhaps 620 individuals.
The master file has 7500 individuals.
The gedcom was originally created when I decided to delete a collateral
line from my master file, but I wanted to save the info just in case.
Well, here I am wanting to re-add that line to my master file. However,
I have upgraded to v.9 since then.
It seems on the surface that the gedcom should be pretty clean and that
I ought to be safe importing/merging it back into my master file.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Your advice would be greatly
appreciated! Thanks!
Gene
