I imported direct from RootsMagic 7 to FH7 about a year ago so have a Fact Set called RootsMagic Import (Project) with a Set Ranking of 2 after Extended Set (Project) with Set Ranking of 1.

Based on advice seen elsewhere from Mike Tate, and understood, I have changed the fact tag of all my census records - Census 1841, Census 1851, Census 1861 etc. - to Census from the Standard Set using the Change Any Fact Tag plugin.

When using the plugin and setting the Source Tag Set to "RootsMagic Import (Project)", the drop down Source Tag Name shows 12 additional fact tags in that Source Fact Set. I assume that these are 12 fact tags not changed on the import a year ago.

For general housekeeping to bring me totally into the FH world, I now plan to change the remaining 12 fact tags from RootsMagic Import (Project) to relevant fact tags from the Standard or Extended Sets and to then delete the RootsMagic Import (Project) set.

The All Facts Filter By Label query identifies events with each of the 12 fact tags for me to assess to make sure that I am not doing anything untoward.

Does this make sense? Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Robert, that makes perfect sense.
The facts that can be converted to Standard FH/GEDCOM facts should export more reliably to other products.
However, if any of those 12 RootsMagic facts really have no Standard/Extended Set equivalent then no great harm will be done in keeping them as custom facts. Most products will accept them. There are probably only a few anyway.
Just check all the Tools > Fact Types... definitions for those custom facts have rational settings, especially for the Sentence Templates and Normal Time Frame.

Thanks Mike, for the feedback and the encouragement.

Cheers,
Robert
