TMG to GEDCOM (T2G) v1.04 is now available. This is a free upgrade for existing customers that includes some minor enhancements and changes. I recommend that all users install this version. Details are described in the Change Log:

https://www.tmgtogedcom.com/en/changelog.htm?v=1.04

If you do not have a license for TMG to GEDCOM 1, you can start the purchase process here:

https://www.tmgtogedcom.com/en/purchases.htm?v=1.04

After you purchase, the web store will send you registration information and download instructions. If you encounter difficulty purchasing the program, please contact me using my JFCardinal address at Gmail.

MS Windows or your anti-virus software may not trust the TMG to GEDCOM installer because TMG to GEDCOM is not a commonly-used program and so it won't have enough reputation points to convince anti-virus software makers that it can be trusted. You may have to instruct your antivirus software to allow you to download the installer if MS Windows or your anti-virus software deems it suspicious.

If you have any trouble installing or using T2G, post a message on the T2G discussion list (T2G-L), or contact me directly, your choice. Posting on the list will allow other users to benefit from the discussion of the problem and the solution.

Will Ancestrees support the _MREL and _FREL expressions?

Jim,

 

Yes, but with a big caveat!

 

Ancestry.com's GEDCOM import for family trees does recognize the _FREL and _MREL custom GEDCOM records. However, one beta tester reported that it did not support any values except "adopted", i.e., it either ignores "step", "foster", etc., or imports them as "adopted". I do not know if that is a bug, or a limitation, or what. I doubt Ancestry.com would comment on it.

 

I will ask the beta tester to respond to this post to get more details, if there are any.

Jim,

 

Darn! I answered as if you were asking about Ancestry.com's online trees, but now I think you meant the online tree from American Ancestors (NHEGS). I have not tested it, but I'd be shocked if AmericanAncesTREES supported _MREL / _FREL. Bluntly, their GEDCOM import is pretty limited.
