I have a child entered as mother : natural and father : adoptive. The gedcom file then list ADOP HUSB under the child and when imported by other programs like Rootsweb a line under the child says Adopted Husband which seems confusing since he died at age 6. Seems like the gedcom should generate ADOP FATHER or is this another quirk in gedcom standards?

To Joe. HUSB means the husband in the family adopted the child. n ADOP [Y|<NULL>] {1:1} +1 <<EVENT_DETAIL>> {0:1} +1 FAMC @<XREF:FAM>@ {0:1} +2 ADOP <ADOPTED_BY_WHICH_PARENT> {0:1} ADOPTED_BY_WHICH_PARENT: = {Size=1:4} [ HUSB | WIFE | BOTH ] A code which shows which parent in the associated family record adopted this person. Where: HUSB =The HUSBand in the associated family adopted this person. WIFE =The WIFE in the associated family adopted this person. BOTH =Both HUSBand and WIFE adopted this person. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe via" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2015 6:06 PM Subject: [BK] Adoptions in gedcom >I have a child entered as mother : natural and father : adoptive.
