I suggest you try one evolution with RM and Legacy. Legacy allows one to "source" a name. RM copies the info from a GEDCOM and shows the name sourced on printouts. But when you GEDCOM back to Legacy the name source is listed under "unassigned". That certainly was the case before info could be transferred without a GEDCOM. Should you find out how to eliminate or correct that problem, please tell me. It would prevent my having to move almost 7,000 sources from unassigned to name. When using both programs, as I do, it's important to keep the data separate vice porting from one to the other.
