Swiss Civil Rights Municipality Coding

Menu	Toolbar	Shortcut
Tools		-

There are three methods for coding Swiss civil rights municipalities: User-defined tag, user-defined tag with subordinate PLAC tag and user-defined attribute. The dialog shows sample lines of an individual record in a Gedcom file for each method.

Finally, specify the use for exports. When importing from Gedcom files, all three methods are always used.

Additional details about civil rights municipality coding and conversion can be found in the Appendix in the section Details for the Gedcom Conversion.

Hint: To set the Gedcom converter to use the coding method of a specific genealogy program, start by determining whether the genealogy program is capable of managing Swiss civil rights municipalities and, if so, how they are coded. Export a test Gedcom file with the genealogy program that contains a test person with a defined civil rights municipality. This file will be opened in FamilyTreeFactory. Look at the display list of the individual record to determine which method is used for coding. Based on the known civil rights municipality of the test person, you can easily determine which of the three methods shown in the dialog is correct. You can then specify the tag, the tag with subordinate PLAC tag or the attribute type. The tag or attribute type is then entered in the corresponding data field.

The sections Preferred Given Name Coding, Married Name Coding and Marriage Data Coding include detailed configuration examples. Configuration of civil rights municipality coding is performed in the same way.
