I have been loading IGI files into TMG and the way I ave found that works
best is to download PAF version 4 for free and use that program to convert
the GEDCOM to PAF 4 files. Then you import the PAF file directly into TMG.

This aleviates the problem with getting the "Personal source" tags that you
get from reading IGI GEDCOM files directly into TMG.

PAF 5 files can not be imported into TMG using Genbridge at this time.
