Stop census importing as 'family' tag into rootsmagic

Recommended Posts

I'm exploring Rootsmagic as an alternative to TMG but find that some census tags end up as census family tags in Rootsmagic. Is there any way to tweak my TMG data to stop this?

If the Census tag has one principal, it will be imported as an individual fact. If the Census tag has two principals and they are married or the parents of one or more children, it will be imported as a family fact. That's correct.

Since the US Census only has one head of household, all of my TMG census events have only one principal and they were all imported to RootsMagic as individual facts with the other individuals linked to the events as witnesses.
