Hi Tami, Terry is correct that the decades old GEDCOM specification has no "standard" provision for witnesses. However, as of Version 9.04 a new Option in Step 5 of the GEDCOM export wizard was added: [ ] Enhanced GEDCOM tag export Selecting that option will "sometimes" add custom non-standard extra GEDCOM output to show witnesses to a tag. However, Terry's warning that some two-Principal tags are *never* output due to GEDCOM's limitations is true even if this enhanced option is selected. And since witnesses are not part of the GEDCOM specification, there is no guarantee than any program importing your GEDCOM file will know what to do with this extra non-standard data. I have created a separate on-line document "TMG GEDCOM Export: Guide to Limitations and Issues" which includes details concerning the enhanced export option. It can be accessed here: http://www.mjh-nm.net/GED-EXPT.HTML A more detailed description of the limitations concerning exporting two-Principal tags is described in this section of that document: http://www.mjh-nm.net/GED-EXPT.HTML#Gedcom2Prins This separate document is actually an extract from my larger on-line book. All of this GEDCOM information (plus more) is contained in my that book, in its Import/Export chapter: http://www.mjh-nm.net/IMEXPORT.HTML Hope this helps explain what you are seeing, Michael
