Hi Julie, >Are all your issues with marriage tags? No. Now that I look closer, role names and thus sentences for both P1 AND P2 for all events imported as (fam) facts vanish, and all P1 role names/sentences for those imported as P1 and witness/share for non (fam) facts. As RM doesn't have roles for principals this isn't surprising but very disappointing. I would hope not to have lost the role name(s) and sentences. As these issues are with any P1 that has a role, or any resulting (fam) fact with P1 and P2 over a variety of tags and a variety of roles, it isn't exactly conducive to bulk pre-import preparation using TMGUtility. Hard slog thru over now well over 5000+ events is not something I'm about to do until I have to. (my first query to re-quantify this for me showed 26,000 + people affected, but I think that's a miscount, but even it if it isn't, it's only the people not the events, which would be higher) When/if I have to I'd probably be creating separate facts to cope with the assorted situations I decide to preserve the sentences for. My two principal tags imported fine, between couples as (fam) facts where RM has family facts, and as P1 with P2 shifted to witness aka shared for non family facts BUT the role name has vanished for principals, and thus the related sentences. Witness/shares look fine for those I've actually examined. Do you not use roles in your project?

When working with RM guys and the import software I believe the P1 issues are when RM expects 2 principals...
