You are right on track Donna. Other GEDCOM 5.5 and you can use either depending on what you need. Richard explained this in detail in June. "The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the simply Roman alphabet. The ANSEL (American National ? ? of Librarians) is the Roman alphabet including the diacritical marks that show pronunciation for European languages. The UTF-8 (Universal Transfer Function -8) and the Unicode are similar enough that I do not know the difference. The Unicode system uses two bytes to allow encoding any of the written languages including Cyrillic, Hebrew, Korean, Chinese, etc. Richard L.
