[LegacyUG] MERGING 2 GEDCOMS
The instructions in the help file are very confusing. What I want to do is merge my wife's to mine to get one big file to look at. We have few common ancestors and I would like to see who they are. What is a simple way to merge them? I have them in a split screen but can find no menue to merge them together.

[LegacyUG] IMPORT GEDCOM?
Suddenly I can not import a new Gedcom. It just imports the Sources. That is all. It is frustrating as I have been using Legacy 7.5 for merging duplicate people the FTM will not. Sam Is there anything I can try?

Re: [LegacyUG] Early American Colonies - Location questions
You are nit picking. What difference does it make? I grew up there in the Manomet area. I won't worry about it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merge
Thank you. I finally got to the tail. One thing happened at the end. A message came that said it could not find 2 numbers. I looked at the numbers. There were 4 numbers missing. Does that mean anything? Sam On 1/27/2013 6:34 AM, Ron Taylor wrote: > Carl and Brian gave a very good explanation.

[LegacyUG] Merge
I am tryong to merge two Gedcoms. The longer I work at it the farther apart I seem to get. I am now at 4015 of 4331, 316 apart. It started at 2600 of 2800, only 200 apart. Am I doing something wrong? I know you can't tell. But it all seems very strange.

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom size
This does not work. I set the tag for 20 generations an I get my 35th and 40th GGP included. There must be something I am doing wrong. Or the method does nt w2ork.

OK, I tagged the people.

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom size
Jenny, Thanks, but I want all lines included. I just want to stop at the 20th generation for all of them.
