Patti,

The "Public Beta" of Pocket Genealogist has both editing and direct import
from TMG (Using GenBridge). Both features are only available in the
"Advanced" version.

Here is more info about the beta:

and here are some screen shots... Sorry, it's using the Legacy Family Tree
sample file in these screen prints! :-)
