These are custom GEDCOM tags coming from the list boxes on the Lineage tab
defininging the relationship between a child and his/her parents. _MRE
refers to the mother relationship and _FRE refers to the father
relationship. The tag is non-standard and there is no appropriate place into
which TMG could import this data.

The MEDI tag defines the media type (book, film, recording, etc.) of a
source. It should be subordinate to the repository citation in the GEDCOM
source record. FTM is using the tag for the correct purpose but putting it
in the wrong place in the GEDCOM.
