* Importing from TMG - Family event vs single event

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.

Hi Tor -

If you use only standard gedcom tags in TMG FH will import a family event. However any custom tags with 2 principals are not treated as TMG treats them. They import as a single fact with a witness. All my census tags (I have a tag for each census year) import into FH as single events with a witness. I adjusted my sentences, and everything is fine. P2 imports as Principal 2 (witness). All other roles will work fine - I have role 'with parents', 'with father', 'with mother', and 'witness' - the last role being the catch-all with a generic sentence. Actually I adjusted my sentences for many of my TMG tags.
