cray4348 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I just found a bug in exporting a GEDCOM. I recently added an Event-Misc to a person and then exported that dataset to a GEDCOM but any Event-Misc tag that I've added since the upgrade is not exporting at all. Event-Misc tags brought over from the v6 file are all exporting OK but nothing made after the upgrade. What is weird is that I created a new tag based on the Event tag and it exports just fine. Has anyone else run into this yet? Anybody have a fix? Thanks in advance, Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Reigel 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Two questions may shed some light on this: 1. How many principals in the tags, and are they married or have children together? 2. What is the GEDCOM tag type shown on the Tag Type Definition screen for this tag type? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the GEDCOM tag type shown on the Tag Type Definition screen for this tag type? There were 2 principals in the tag, a mother and her daughter. The GEDCOM tag type is EVEN. This is the same Event tag I've used for years in TMG and its always exported just fine. Thanks Terry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the same Event tag I've used for years in TMG and its always exported just fine. That arrangement doesn't meet the GEDCOM 5.5 specs and won't be exported. A 1 EVEN 2 TYPE event must have a single principal to be exported as an individual event or two principals who are married or are the parents of a child to be exported as a family event.

Then I guess I need to make the daughter a witness to the passenger list instead of a principal. The devil is in the details, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Reigel 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 You can do that, but if you do, the daughter will not have this event at all in the export because Witnesses are never exported to GEDCOM - it does not recognize Witnesses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retsof 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 I have some data IMPORTED from GEDCOMs and there are some witnesses. I swear I've seen 'em, but I didn't put them there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
