This page provides an overview of the utilities available on this wiki that may help you with your migration of a TMG Project to a RootsMagic database. An example of what TMG Refugee Mike James did is described at https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/tmg-refugees.rootsweb.com/thread/199856/. It is important to note that there may be considerable cleanup and data manipulation to…
Why? RootsMagic 6.3.3.2+ imports the TMG_ID into the standard RootsMagic Reference No. fact type (REFN). While this fact type can be displayed after the name of the person in main views and reports, it cannot be displayed in the sidebar Index and in some other places. Some users would prefer that it did; the only…
After importing a TMG project, there is considerable cleanup to be done in the resulting RootsMagic database. There are differences in their respective sentence template languages that cannot translate well or could be translated better (improvement possible in the direct import process). This script addresses some of these outcomes and some unwanted artifacts that could…
Do you have a lot of empty Description fields for facts or events that you would like to fill with short contents from the corresponding Note field?

Thus, reports and GEDCOM can take full advantage of the options: Privatize living people (GEDCOM only) Include private facts Include {private} notes Strip { } brackets thus providing many more combinations by which these outputs may…
2021-10-28: The following queries are compatible with #RM8 but, while included in , the app itself is not. If a user has set certain Fact Types to be excluded from GEDCOM export, those fact types are also not transferred to another database via Drag and Drop (DnD). This setting is controlled in the Edit Fact…
This is a problem with an Ancestry.com tree synchronized with Family Tree Maker 2012 (version 21.0.0.723), and exported therefrom. Places containing a forward slash (“/”) in the name are split on import into FTM into two parts. Everything after the slash goes to the Place name and all before to the Event description. The FTM2012…
