I don't know what program you were using before, but if it is on the list under IMPORT, try that .. it should bring your data over 100% correct.

Subject: [TMG] TMG Version 4.0C GEDCOM Import Problem


I wonder if anyone has noticed this GEDCOM import problem:

1) I tried to import a GEDCOM 5.5 file into TMG V4.0C
2) My GEDCOM file has a number of PREFIX and/or SUFFIX abbreviations
such as Dr., Mrs., Jr., Sr. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, I, II, III etc.
3) I find that TMG has generated a LARGE NUMBER of NAME-VAR tags which
contain nothing but the PREFIX and/or SUFFIX abbreviations. This makes
it very hard to keep a CLEAN database.

Question:
1) Am I the only one that has run into this problem?
2) If not, is there someway that I can ask TMG to ignore the Dr., Mrs.,
Jr., Sr. etc. and NOT MAKE NAME-VAR tags for these prefix and/or suffix
abbreviations?

Any help will be greatly appreciated since I am REALLY NEW to TMG.

Thanks,
David
