Mike, To be honest, I've never noticed that! I do know that with FTM, when you have multiple facts, one needs to be set to 'preferred'. I have always assumed that this was to choose which one was displayed in the right hand panel, which could only show one at a time. Why that should affect the Gedco...

Mike, Teach me not to read the instruction! To date I have always exported Gedcom using FTM16 (Default Setting) & ANSI, and had never experienced any difficulties with Tribalpage import, so stuck with what I knew worked.

I realised it wouldn't be that simple and with a current Import Log File of 200+ pages - (Mainly INF...
