I thought I remembered that Y problem from another time and that there was a fix. I had intended to look in the Archives. You just saved me the time and trouble. I have never tried to open a GEDCOM in a word processing program, let alone edit one, but I'm game. Thanks for the solution, Chap. I think I can make this work now. -- Alice In a message dated 1/31/2005 10:29:46 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Alice: FTM does not handle the GEDCOM "1 DEAT Y" tag correctly on import. This has been discussed a number of times on this list.
Here is your solution for the Y appearing in FTM. Create your GEDCOM from Legacy. Then go into any Text processor and edit your GEDCOM file and globally replace "1 DEAT Y" With a Blank Save the GEDCOM file & then import it into FTM.
