Hi Gary. There should be a record number for each error in the GEDCOM list file. If you have thousands of them, it sounds to me as though Legacy generated some garbage when it converted the original PAF file. Then when you created the GEDCOM file in Legacy, the export routine was confused and added the continuation records. I figure out the problem, I would open the GEDCOM in a text processor (not a word processor) such as Wordpad, and find the first errant continuation record. Then look at the line or lines immediately above it. The content of those lines will tell you where the problem exists. It is my guess that the fix needs to be made in Legacy.
