I haven't used TMG but when I switched from FTM to Legacy (which I absolutely love, BTW - and I'd NEVER go back to FTM!), I found that FTM didn't gedcom over everything in my database in spite of selecting the option to export everything. I had tags that Legacy couldn't recognize which ended up in notes (Legacy gives you the option to assign to another tag or put in notes). Because the versions of FTM I used had such lousy source citation features, I'm still trying to clean up the "junk" I was forced to put in the program just to get *something* in! Sherry
