Are you trying to drag in such a way that a blank frame would be left in the

otherwise would be created. Legacy 7 does allow dragging

In my gedcoms created in Legacy and using 5.5, they don't include the ABBR tag.
Are you creating a gedcom for Legacy rather than the 5.5, and then removing the
ABBR tags before importing into TNG?

I just looked at my most recent gedcom from Legacy, and I export in

It is in Customise on the Gedcom Export screen (I choose Legacy as the Type
of file to Produce) then that brings up another screen Items to Include ...
at the top where it says Export these items, highlight the ones you want to
remove (eg ABBR, QUAY) and hit Remove in the centre.

Thanks, Jennifer. That's very helpful. Now if I'd been paying more
attention, I might have found those myself.

Gail,
Are you using the latest version of Legacy? I notice you are still getting the
odd 1860 U.S. census, \i 2004\i0. Have a look in your source in Legacy to see
if it is there. That happened to me when Legacy 7 was first released, but after
updating to the last release I can't duplicate it.
One other thing: when you have decided on your list of changes, you can
Save List. I have done this and call the list TNGgedcom so I don't have
to try to remember what I need to change every time - I just hit Load
List.

Hi Jennifer and Patti, I'm so glad you guys are chiming in on this
issue! OK, I removed the ABBR tag (I had already removed the others
you had mentioned), and re-exported the new gedcom file.

I think you may be right about legality issues

I'm afraid I do not know enough about the extent of a priest's license to

Dave,
I have experienced both these problems regarding not being able to rearrange

(all are in subfolders of the Picture folder) so that doesn't seem to be the
answer. After reading Ron's post, I found that I COULD rearrange
I think we have to distinguish between a marriage and a wedding as they are not
the same thing.
There can only be one Legal marriage ceremony (that which the State recognizes
as granting the legal benefits of marriage) but there can be an infinite number
of wedding ceremonies.

Gail, I will have to see if I have a back-up of when I had this problem. I do
