To Gilles de C. Paquette There is not an option currently to import empty fields from gedcom. Some programs in the past made gedcom files with empty fields and most BK users did not want them imported, so that is why it works that way. I may be able to give an option in the future to import blank fields. John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilles de C.
