GEDCOM imported from Ancestry.com needs every place standardized

James Tanner

Because Ancestry.com has a different standard for its place names, if you import a GEDCOM from Ancestry, all most all the place names will be marked as needing standardization in the Family Tree. I am aware that it may be possible in future upgrades to “import and export” directly to the FamilySearch Family Tree from the CET, but this is still going to be an ongoing issue. For the time being, I will standardize any dates and places as I work with the CET.

The engineers have successfully imported a GEDCOM 7 file. Full support, however, will come at a later date.

Again, thank you for your valuable assistance with this product.
