* Migrating from Family Tree Maker

Importing from another genealogy program? This is the place to ask. Questions about Exporting should go in the Exporting sub-forum of the General Usage forum.

Migrating from Family Tree Maker

Post by KeithSG » 27 Dec 2009 12:55

I opened a GEDCOM in Family Historian that I had exported from FTM. Everything seemed fine until I tried to use the FH-modified GEDCOM on my web site. All of the custom event tags had been changed from EVEN to _ATTR. Unfortunately, the software that I use for my web site (TNG) looks for EVEN for custom events.

In the FH Event/Attribute List they are shown as Type = Event.

I have solved this problem. I used notepad to find and replace all _ATTR with EVEN in a GEDCOM copy of the FH file. I used that version for my website.
