Dear Bruce Have just read some of the messages about transferring from Family Origins to your new program via Gedcom. Would it be possible to keep the original Family Origins record numbers and not have the records renumbered when transferring to the new program via Gedcom I transfer Databases from `Family Origins` to `Legacy` and have the option in this program to retain my original record numbers in `Legacy` so both database have the same record numbers. This feature is very important to me as my Database is accessed by users all around the world and I need to keep the record numbers the same.
