Greetings, I'm new to this list, as well as to Clooz. I have finally figured out how to get my People from Family Tree Maker to Clooz (via Legacy), but in my opinion its less than desirable. First off, the Personal ID numbers are NOT my ID's I had set up, it appears to be numbers associated with how the people were entered originally. Is there a way to edit those Personal ID #'s? I looked at "Edit", but this does not appear to be an option. Only the alternate ID seem to be allowed to be edited. Also, apparently on transfer from Family Tree Maker's GEDCOM to Legacy the surnames/given names are muddled. Where I have "Unnamed" on surnames is blank on Clooz - this is OK, but when I have the surname, but no given name - the surname is now listed as a given name. And where I have neither surname or given name, but dates - only dates show up. Without my ID numbers - this means absolutely nothing to Clooz or to me. With all that.... I re-did the GEDCOM, assuming perhaps wrongly, that it was a language problem between the genealogy programs. Also tried to reduce the amount of people I was sending thru to Clooz and that failed miserably. I must admit I'm quite ignorant in dealing with GEDCOM's, but one would think we could be more picky on what is transferred. I have over 8800 individuals in my data, and I'd rather reduce that volume. So I tried just doing a "Report" in FTM, of just the family group I was willing to work on initially. I transferred it sucessfully into my word processing program. I followed Liz's idea of getting the tabs changed into no space, etc. - but then I couldn't figure out what was birth, death or marriage dates. So I tried putting data into Excel - it made nice columns - true, but surprisingly, it would not print dates correctly. i.e. 11 October 1923 would come out as Oct 23. And when I copied from Excel back into the word processing, it retained the problematic dates. Any ideas? I'm at a loss about all of this. Frustrated to the max. And I now realize it has to be something very simple, hence the reason I can't figure this out. Before I start entering one individual at a time, I thought I would just write to the list and see if anyone can help or has some ideas. Anyone? Melinda
