BK 7 users Back in February I had a problem when comparing my database to my friends who uses a different genealogy program. He had embedded the person's nick name within the person's birth name. This creates a problem in the BK compare routine when you compare "John Doe" to "John 'Jack' Doe" Obviously, they are not equal when doing a binary compare. A German software developer named Diedrich Hesmer contacted me about his program GPS-Start. The program is like a "Swiss Army Knife" of GEDCOMs. It was able to read my friend's GEDCOM and remove the embedded nickname and create a new GEDCOM with a new file name. If you have any problems reading or processing other people's GEDCOMs you might want to check it out https://ofb.hesmer.name/gedserpro_e.html Jim
