Import a GEDCOM file

Select the options you want:

    Convert first names to lowercase letters, with initials in uppercase.
    Convert surnames to lowercase letters, with initials in uppercase. Try to keep lowercase particles.
 When creating a person, if the GEDCOM first name part holds several names separated by spaces, you can ask that the first of this names becomes the person "first name" and the complete GEDCOM first name part a "first name alias".
    Set 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", "den", "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 accentuated characters encoding is normally specified in the GEDCOM header.
    Follow the indications of the GEDCOM header.
    The accentuated characters are in ANSEL encoding.
    The accentuated characters are in ASCII encoding.
    The accentuated characters are in MSDOS encoding.
