Hello Gary

I'm still having a nightmare trying to import from Generations 8 UK to
TMG 5.04.

I end up with 4,100 people instead of 20,400!

Have worked through every single thing in the toolbars and system for
Generations today. Have tried doing it all on a laptop from the backups
of my file (as I read that my cordless mouse may interfere with
Generations 8) and have checked and rechecked my Generations file many,
many times.

I've finally resorted tonight to emailing WG Support.

If there is an answer to your question Gary I would be very interested.
I too want to use Genbridge if possible. I am reluctant to do this via
GEDCOM, as I understand that Generations GEDCOMS to TMG are not very
good and I have a massive amount to lose if I can't get this close to
100% right.
