Colleagues,
I'm trying to become wiser with my experience!
During the process of cleaning up an import to RM from TMG, I am finding that my data seems to have transferred completely, if a bit raggedly. I am slowly working my way through and cleaning things up for presentation and uniformity.
Will everything that I enter into RM transfer with a GEDCOM? Are there pitfalls that I should think of in advance? For all its limitations, it seems wise to try to make my personal data entry rules compatible with an export.
An example from my data:
I used a Research Note fact type in the past. I'm considering moving it to a "person memo" which seems a more logical and visible place for these things. I know a custom fact type transfers in GEDCOM. Can I be sure a person memo would transfer also? Is there a resource (list) somewhere that will tell (warn) me about transfer?
In this case, other considerations in this decision are sharing and sourcing these items which I can do with a fact type, but not with a note, right?
I value your comments and suggestions.
Jane
