No. If you apply a Role to a Principal, the data in the fields (date, place, memo) export, but the information
contained in the Role sentence structure does not. So if you use Roles to indicate a date is estimated, as has been
the subject of this thread, or to indicate first, second, or third marriages, for example, that information is lost in
a GEDCOM export.

Basically, if you are going to take advantage of the more useful features of TMG, export of more than pretty basic
data via GEDCOM is not going to work.
