This could be a significant problem for users coming from applications like FTM, which allow users to attach media to citations. In fact, there is no way to attach media to citations in FTB, at least in the basic edition. Source citations: Failed to display media attached to citations. I suspect this is because FTB expects multimedia records to be in GEDCOM 5.5 format, which was different from 5.5.1. Multimedia: Failed to import media titles, dates, and notes. However, it exported the field correctly. Failed to import a residence field, even though it imported part of the address and date attached to it. Failed to display reference numbers (tag REFN) on relationships, although it exported them. Imported the field label “ Ancestral File Number” but failed to import the field contents (the description). Imported the words “ Height” and “ Weight” from EVEN.TYPE structures into the Description field, but failed to import the accompanying descriptions. For example, it imported EVEN.TYPE Namesake as “Named after” and “Employment” as “Occupation.” Apps must import the TYPE tag verbatim. Failed to import the exact text from the TYPE tag on some EVENt structures. However, all the LDS ordinance fields were exported to GEDCOM. This is a serious omission for members of the LDS Church. Failed to display LDS ordinance fields, even though all of them use standard GEDCOM tags except for Initiatory.

Failed to parse the valid GEDCOM 5.5.1 tag FACT. Failed to display an ADDRess tag, even though it imported the other elements of the address structure, including the city, state, and postal code. However, none of the references even existed in my GEDCOM file so they were neither defined nor referenced. Contained the cryptic statement, “Indexes Referenced but not Defined” and then listed what appeared to be some note cross-references.Notwithstanding, FTB imported all of the fields except DNA Markers. Labelled some events as non-standard, even though they were correctly structured.

The size limit of a tree that can be synced with the website is 250 people, but MyHeritage might still upgrade former FTM users to an unlimited size family tree, per the article mentioned above.

It would be better if all of the issues encountered were actual problems (see Cons). + It’s good that FTB produces a list of issues encountered during GEDCOM import a genealogy app should always produce a GEDCOM import log listing any data that could not be imported. I suggest you click the View Report button, which will open the list in Notepad, and save the list for future reference.

A list of issues is opened this is the log that I was expecting.

Once the GEDCOM is imported, a summary is presented click the View Issues button (Fig 2). The actual log file is created in a later step.

The option to “Write import execution log file” merely creates a copy of the GEDCOM file rather than the log file I expected.

Leaving the encoding set to Auto-detect is probably a good idea, since a file might be marked one thing but actually encoded another, and applications can often detect the actual encoding.

After beginning the GEDCOM import, make sure “Convert to Notes” is selected for “Handling of Unrecognized Tags” (Fig 1).

Importing a GEDCOM file into FTB is straightforward, but MyHeritage has a web page, “FTM Users: Join MyHeritage and get Family Tree Builder with an Unlimited Size Family Site for Free.” However, here are a few tips I’d like to highlight: Fig 1 Configure GEDCOM Import References to the GEDCOM standard are to version 5.5.1 unless stated otherwise. Portions of text in all capital letters that are not acronyms are GEDCOM tags, with the rest of the plain text field name in lowercase.
