Hi Luis,
I am not sure if you are aware there are a number of pieces of software
available that convert Gedcom (ie from a Legacy export) to Excel, Access and
CSV that you may find useful for your project.
The one I use is "GEDxlate" and its freeware.

I choose Legacy, after trying several programs, all with Access compatibility, after several years with PAF and I still don't regret the selection.

I hope that you don't mind but I have copied this over to WUL as clearly a

As a generality, GEDCOMs on the web are suspect. I try to keep my Legacy
file "pure", and find it is always worth the trouble to hand type from
things like One World Tree or strangers' GEDCOMs, sourcing each entry as
unproven and for further investigation. These sources can help you with

Thanks Cary. Following your suggestion, I looked at links and found a
rats nest. Seems the whole database is the result of one or more
botched large merges. I particularly liked the duplicate wives who were
linked to the same children but one not linked back or to the father...

Do the children have more than one relationship to parents in the view

If a blood child to one parent is adopted by the other, the name of the
same child will appear twice in their family view, once with each
