I wonder if anyone has done a systematic study of how FH GEDCOMs compare with others - especially Family Tree Maker (FTM) and Darrin Lythgoe's The Next Generation (TNG)? This first surfaced as a possible problem some years ago when i tried to upload my FH data to Ancestry. It failed, quietly and completely. Eventually I discovered that importing first into FTM (and ignoring all the error messages as i was short of time as always) and re-exporting GED made for a clean and faultless Ancestry upload. What happens in the process, though, is that certain FH data gets lost or moved. In particular, and at least: * Citation "where in source" vanishes * Census addresses vanish * Census notes become stand-alone notes with a link to the census record. I did a quick check of FH & FTM native GED formats and discovered that FTM simply doesn't support many of the tags used in FH, besides structuring other data differently (e.g. with census notes). Overall it *seems* that FH data structures are far richer than in FTM, but an obvious question is whether the "FH way" is generally "acceptable" (there's probably nothing in the GEDCOM standard to arbitrate here). We ought to be worried if uploading data to Ancestry is incomplete, though i'm perfectly relaxed about losing user-defined stuff like flags and custom events/fields. Paul
