The address in the repository was imported as a note. Genealogy apps should list all elements that they don’t import in the import log. For the address in the header, the import log simply stated, “ADDR element ignored,” but the log made no mention of the ADDR in the residence event.

– Failed to import valid ADDResses in the Header, attached to a RESIdence event, and in a repository. + Another nice feature of Gramps is that there are many add-ons available for importing, exporting, reporting, mapping, analyzing, etc.

Even if their code isn’t accepted for inclusion in Gramps releases, they can still change things they don’t like or add things that are useful to them. Consequently, users can help improve and develop Gramps. + Gramps is open source, written in Python. + Gramps is cross-platform, available on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD. This can be useful if all the citations for a reference need to be changed. For example, the references for sources show all the citations that use each reference. + People, families, events, places, sources, citations, repositories, media, and notes all have a References tab showing what each item is linked to. Upon export, each citation is correctly exported separately. + Like FTM, allows citations to be attached to multiple people so that they can be easily edited. However, it also retained FTM’s custom FREL and MREL tags. + Correctly uses the ADOPtion event structure to include the FAMC tag cross-referencing the family and including a subordinated ADOP tag showing which parent adopted. + Concatenates FTM’s illegal CONC tags in PAGE fields of source citations all onto one line without exceeding the 248 character limit, thereby eliminating the illegal tags. + Correctly attaches address records to events, unlike most genealogy apps. While a NOTE tag might be better, still, this is not a bad way of preserving the data while correcting an improper structure. + Exports FTM’s illegal birth, death, and marriage event descriptions (other than the letter Y) to a TYPE tag subordinate to the event. However, it doesn’t follow the standard in all respects, especially with multimedia records. + Reports GEDCOM version as 5.5.1, which is great. + Properly word wraps CONC tags on both import and export. + Imported FTM’s illegal use of the ALIA tag as an Also Known As name. + Imported FTM’s custom FREL and MREL tags listing relationships to father and mother (birth, adopted, etc.) unfortunately, it also exports these custom tags, although it also exports the correct Adoption structure. This makes it easier to refer to them in the original GEDCOM if necessary. + Lists cross-reference numbers from the GEDCOM file for people, families, notes, sources, and media on the appropriate screen. The errors associated with each person are also imported into a note for that person. If you want to save this list, just select all of it, copy it, and past it into a text document. + After importing a GEDCOM, a list of errors is presented with data not imported and the line number in the GEDCOM. References to the GEDCOM standard are to 5.5.1 unless stated otherwise. Note: portions of text in all capital letters are GEDCOM tags, with the rest of the plain text field name in lowercase. While some problems with GEDCOM import and export have been corrected, several problems remain. Version Tested: This article has been updated based on Gramps 5.0.0.

Detailed information about GEDCOM import can be found in the Wiki Manual article, “ Manage Family Trees.”

Importing a GEDCOM file from Family Tree Maker (FTM) or any other app or website into Gramps is explained on their Wiki page, “Import from another genealogy program.” Gramps supposedly supports GEDCOM 5.5 and, to a lesser extent, 5.5.1. , Logan, Utah, USA.GenSoftReviews: 2.7 – 2.9 stars out of 5 (varies by OS) October 5, 1918, Elmhurst Illinois, USA, d.
