I have been trying to get a Ancestry World Tree gedcom into tmg v5.

When using v5 to import the gedcom directly then a very large amount of note
type material is not imported.

I get the same problem. if I try to import the gedcom directly into PAFv4.

However Legacy v3 imports the gedcom with out problems.

If I then try to genbridge from Legacy v 3 into TMG v5 then the import is
totally incorrect. (only about 50 of 1000 people import and their
relationships are incorrect).

However I can then export from Legacy to a gedcom for PAFv4 . Then PAfv4
will import the data without problems.

Then if I try to genbridge from PAFv4 into TMGv5 I get a fatal foxpro
error!!!!!!!!!

However if I then export from PAFv4 into a gedcom and then import that
gedcom into TMGv5 I am successful and get 99.9% of the original data.

Anyone having similar problems.

Having to go from the original gedcom to legacy then to PAF then to a new
gedcom and finally into TMGv5 is a pain.

Gary
