ENGLISH / importing Gedcom from the Dutch program Aldfaer
« on: November 04, 2022, 15:18:51 »
I finally decided for a new genealogy program, which is going to be Ancestris.
That has much of what I was looking for.
Have to learn a new way of editing, so there might be some questions I will ask in this forum.
I started by imported my Aldfaer gedcom into Ancestris. Which gave me lots of errors en problems because it is not in the Ancestris import-list.
Will it be in the near future?
Aldfaer is a very wellknown program in the Netherlands.
So far I do not see many Ancestris users in my country, so maybe thats why Aldfaer is not in the list yet.
What I noticed so far is that i have to export the Aldfaer gedcom with Non-standard Gedcom tags disabled.
Furthermore it seems Aldfaer has non-standard ways for its date-format. Ancestris gives lots of errors for some of Aldfaers date formats.
Had to correct many of those in Aldfaer itself, to prevent the errors. (Did that in Aldfaer, because I am not yet so familiar with Ancestris)
So my question is:
Will Ancestris have a specific way of importing Aldfaer Gedcoms in the future?
