Import a GEDCOM file

Enter:

Select the options you want:

    Force lowercase first names keeping only their initials as uppercase characters.
    Force lowercase surnames keeping only their initials as uppercase characters. Try to keep lowercase particles.
 By default, when creating a person, if the GEDCOM first name part holds several names, the first of this names becomes the person "first name" and the complete GEDCOM first name part a "first name alias".
    Cancel this option.
 By default, When creating a person, if the GEDCOM first name part looks like a public name, i.e. holds:
  • A number or a roman number, supposed to be a number of a nobility title (e.g. George V)
  • One of the words: "der", "die", "el", "le", "la", "the", supposed to be the beginning of a qualifier (e.g. William the Conqueror)
then the GEDCOM first name part becomes the person "public name" and its first word his "first name".
    Cancel this option.
    Set negative dates when inconsistency (e.g. birth after death).
    No negative dates: do not interpret a year preceded by a minus sign as a negative year.
 Some GEDCOM files sometimes write dates with numbered months (from 1 to 12). The GEDCOM standard 5.5 requires that the months be represented by identifiers (e.g. "MAY 1912" and not "05/1912"). The notation "02/05/1912" is ambiguous (means "May 2, 1912" or "February 5, 1912" according to the countries).
    For these dates, extract only the "year" part.
    Interpret these dates as "day/month/year".
    Interpret these dates as "month/day/year".
 The GEDCOM norm 5.5 recommends the usage of the ANSEL encoding for accentuated characters, which are then represented by two letters. The GEDCOM file normally indicates in its header if this encoding is used or not.
    Follow the indications of the GEDCOM header.
    Force the ANSEL decoding, overriding the possible header indication.
    Do not do ANSEL decoding, overriding the possible header indication.

Then click on "Ok".
