Make sure the program that is generating the GEDCOM is using 7-bit ASCII or ANSEL. In the meantime -- open the GEDCOM using a plain text editor (NOT a word processor). Visually scan the file looking for anything that is not ASCII -- ie; any accented characters, foreign language glyphs. If you don't see any, go back to the top of the file and change the line that states UTF-8 to read ASCII instead, save the file, and try importing that version. -- bieber.genealogy@earthlink.net Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/ _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/tmg@rootsweb.com Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
Hi, I am trying to import a gedcom file produced by MyHeritage into TMG. The program keeps telling me the UFT-8 gedcom file can't be imported. Is there a way to avoid that? Thanks for your help. Alain Van Wayenberge
You could try doing this (on a backup of the file!): Open the Gedcom file in a text editor such as Notepad and look for a line fairly near the top which probably looks like this: 1 CHAR UTF-8 Change the UTF-8 to ANSI and save. This should allow the file to be read by TMG.
