I do have the deluxe edition. I know it will fill in any unused numbers, but I want to start over with me as # 1 and work logically back. As it is, the numbers in there now are in order of how she entered the data. If I use Geoff's filing system, I will have so many numbered files empty, because I have no physical evidence of these long ago ancestors. I thank you for the suggestion of exporting to a GEDCOM file, but I don't want to take the chance of messing up the notes etc. that sometimes don't come back in the same way as they were in Legacy.
