A Question. I want to make a PAF5 Gedcom and export it to another Genealogy Program "Ancestral Quest." I want to make sure that I have EVERYTHING INCLUDED. What it the Best Type of Other Gedcom for this???? Ansel: ANSI: UTF-8 Thanks for your Input.

Hi Donna, Exporting data via GEDCOM and expecting to have "EVERYTHING" included is not something you can control with a setting. The program you import the GEDCOM into may not support some of the items you have in the PAF5 program, and there is no setting that will force the receiving program to accept it. When this occurs, generally the receiving program will put that information in the notes. Since PAF5 used to be an earlier version of Ancestral Quest, the two are fairly well compatible, but there may be some things in PAF5.2 that are not acceptable to the latest AQ. You should select Other GEDCOM 5.5 and leave the Character set to the default. If you have any special characters (diacritics) such as umlauts, accents, tildies, or cedillias, you should use UTF-8.
