Thanks for the suggestions to all who help. I do have ms access but have never used it and it does not seem intuitive, so I went to plan B. I created a GEDCOM from the problem family file and then looked at the GEDCOM with OpenOffice word processor. The notes are there, but when I load the GEDCOM in and convert it to a family file, still no notes.
I also used; file, file management, check-repair, as suggested and no success.
