Re: Exporting Notes

I really didn't intend to start a debate about the rights and wrongs of exporting. As I have said previously I stuck with AQ because it was simple to use and although I have been doing Family History for 30 years I still only require that of genealogy software i.e. a safe place to put the most impor...

The fact that you lose hints by uploading a new tree doesn't really bother me as I really only have it there for DNA matches and upload maybe once a year. In terms of other software as I said previously I used Ancestral Quest for many years (about...

Re: Exporting Notes

Thank you for the reply. Up to now I have only tried importing into the program I used for many years before I switched to FH and that is Ancestral Quest, I was in the process of trying other programs but I haven't had time yet.

FH has the ability to have multiple notes for each individual etc., however when exporting to a GEDCOM and then importing to other programs they only seem to accept one note per individual (with as many CONT tags as necessary) and only accept the first or last NOTE tag. Is there a way around this pl...
