FTM GEDCOM import into TNG problem


klooster

Recommended Posts

Because I love Apple, I run my programs on my Mac. Until now I used Legacy 9 through Paralells Desktop in a virtual Windows surrounding, because Legacy is a Windows program. Exporting GedCom from Legacy and importing the GedCom into TNG works flawless.

But I have to go into the Virtual Windows, so I bought Family TreeMaker 2019 (FMT),  Mac compatible and imported the exported GedCom from TNG into FTM.

No problem, all the persons , media and all the notes etc. are in FTM after the import.

BUT when I export the GedCom from FMT and import this into TNG, then all my notes in TNG are gone??

Now, of course I can restore them from my backup.I checked the exported FMT GedCom, the notes are al there, but they are not importing.

When I test an new added test person with new notes and export, import into TNG the new note is also missing 

I tried several things, export from Legacy into FMT etc. Tried the GedCom converter mod etc. No succes, so I run out of options.

Anyone Idea how to solve this.'

I attach the exported GedCom from FMT

Is your testing site Local or online ??

 

I only tried it on my Local Host, I have not tried in online, I wanted to be sure it is working locally first.

Uploaded all the gedcom relevant php files from the TNG 13.02 again. No success. NO NOTES.

Made a new test Tree, imported the same GedCom file as you imported, NO SUCCES, NO NOTES ??????

It seems to work on your Test site, so it is not a FMT export problem. The GedCom codes for notes seem oke to me in the FTM export.

Like Roger, I also imported your gedcom successfully into TNG13.0.2 and found 586 notes.  This was on local host (Laragon), and no WordPress.

Same result on remote hosted website.

Interesting you note count is nearly double.  Must be different import and config settings.

This is what I see after importing on my test site, see printscreen:

 

I notice you have a different number of places - I got 368, you show 379?!

If you look in TNG Admin ------> Custom Events - are there any there set to Ignore?

Roger,  I have 379 places, same as Klooster, but his notes are nearly double on his test site.

I cannot figure this out, made a new test tree, imported etc. no notes visible.

Not a Wordpress problem, deactivated Wordpress, after importing FTM GedCom just stand alone TNG, NO NOTES.

Tngrlkrz and the Kiwi had.no problem importing my FTM export GedCom, the NOTES were visible and had both 586 notes.

The FTM export looks oké to me, the GedCom Notes connatation is correct. SO ????????

Klooster,

Are there any Mods (either of your own design or from the Wiki) that may have an impact on the import process.. I have ever only done one import and that was to get me started with TNG, so don't really know what may be the issue. However having noted in past posts that you do make 'Mods' for many differing reasons, it may be that a Mod has changed something that was not intended to be changed..

 

It is just a thought on my part..

Thanks for the thought Rick,

I uninstalled ALL (including my own) mods and imported again, did not solve the problem, still NO NOTES

When importing your gedcom (local site with Laragon) : 586 notes same as Roger and Ron .

How can you have 1140? Wierd...

What do you have into your tables?

I have : tng_xnotes : 586 notes for tree = "cees"

tng_notelinks : 549 links
That means that 37 notes are not attached to a person/family.

But if I look in Admin>>Notes, the 98 first are empty...

Take a look to your gedcom file :a note is :

0 @N339@ NOTE
1 CONC

Why are the CONC/CONT mixed? Each of your note begins with a CONC blank line. Is it of importance?

Hi Michel,

About the numbers:

When I export from TNG with NO media links:

3746 People, 1292 Families, 35 Sources, 0 Repositories, 1141 Notes, 0 Media, 399 Places

When I export from TNG WITH media links:

3746 People, 1292 Families, 35 Sources, 0 Repositories, 1648 Notes, 567 Media, 399 Places

----------------------------

The Gedcom exported from TNG, looks like this:

0 @NI1901@ NOTE

Like you mentioned there is indeed an extra 1 CONC above the 1 CONC ?????

 

And the Note number is different  0 @NI1901@ NOTE versus 0 @N223@ NOTE ????

Go to your Admin>>Notes and search for "Adriaan Kloosterman werkte van 1884 tot 1887 als onderwijzer "

how many notes are found? If more than one, to which persons are the notes linked?

If I export your tree from TNG, the same note is well exported with @N223@

TNG exports 1156 notes (export report) , but there are only 567 "real" notes in the gedcom.

I think that the difference comes from notes attached to events, that TNG count as notes (total notes count in notepad+ : 1168)

Export from TNG look as :

0 @N223@ NOTE
1 CONT

So from when comes this wierd @NI1901@? Can you look into your tables if it exists?

There is no note exported. It means no note in TNG. Why?

In TNG the individual I28 looks as shown below : there is no note

notes cees 5.JPG

 

What's then the Note @N4@?

The note N4 in your gedcom is :

0 @N4@ NOTE
1 CONC Dienstplichtige ZMS. Functie : schutter
1 CONT Archief Zeeuwse Mobiele Schutterij inv.nr 132 sub. 218, inv.nr 133 sub

If I search into the notes with the text "Dienstplichtige ZMS. Functie : schutter", I found any note...

 

I go Admin>>Custom Event Types>> and set the EVEN Militaire dienst on "Accept"

I do a new import of your gedcom with "replace all data"

Now the notes are showing...

Thanks for all the replies and special to you Michel, you really dug into my problem. Well you did put me on the right track. The problem was that my Custom Event types in TNG  somehow got screwed up.

Besides that, I am not so satisfied with FTM (Family Tree Maker) so I bought REUNION 13 for Mac, importing the notes is working now.
