Export Gedcom File for MyHeritage

Post by tatewise » 24 Jan 2017 21:06

Try the attached Export Gedcom File Plugin Version 3.1.4 Date 25 Jan 2017.
It is a compressed ZIP that will need right-click Extract All to obtain Plugin file that when double-clicked will install into FH.

Any Address data is appended to the Place field following the word at.

Some data creates synthetic facts or adds details to Note fields such as Custom Id.

I have tried loading the GEDCOM into both the website directly and using Family Tree Builder 8.
Both work quite well but there are some subtle differences.
On the website the event tags ADOP and BLES are not translated into Adoption and Blessing.
In Family Tree Builder the Residence (RESI) and Description (DSCR) attributes are discarded.

Media images seem to upload OK but not yet automatically set as personal photo to appear with each profile.
This may need some more adaptations when I understand the MyHeritage dialect of GEDCOM better.

Is this a workable solution for MyHeritage, or are there glaring problems?
