+ Imported FTM’s illegal ALIA tag as an Alias (also known as) and exported it using a valid custom tag. + Imported and stored most data, even if it wasn’t displayed in FTB, which was apparent from the fact that data that weren’t displayed were still exported to GEDCOM. No searching all MyHeritage family trees.No Timebook, which is a chronological, digital album of dated photos for a person and his/her family.No All-in-One Chart containing all relatives of a given person.No merging of Smart Matches at MyHeritage.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.
