I am contemplating changing from GenBox to Family Historian and am at present playing with the free trial of the latter. In GenBox I have the transcripts of many BMD certificates as notes which print out fine with each separate event. However when I export my database as a Gedcom file and then use this with FH all the notes run on after the other and have various lines such as Date \tab 14 February 1861. I can not find the text of these notes anywhere in FH and would like to know how to export from GenBox correctly. Looking at the Gedcom file the lines seem to be things like 3 CONT BIRTH 3 CONT \b0 Name\tab William Smith 3 CONT Date\tab West Calder ..... (I believe from the GenBox user group that v5 of FH will be able to import directly form GenBox so it's probably not worth bothering too much with v4 if it involves too much work. Will the new version be able to import notes correctly?) Any help greatly appreciated Bob Warnock
I'm rather hoping that it will also have UTF-8 support too!
