There are four methods for coding contact data: In RESI tag long, in ADDR tag long, in RESI tag short and in ADDR tag short. The dialog shows sample lines of an individual record in a Gedcom file for each method.
Finally, specify the use for exporting. When importing, all four methods are always used.
Additional details about contact data 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 contact data and, if so, how they are coded. Export a test Gedcom file with the genealogy program that contains a test person with defined contact data. 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 contact data of the test person, you can easily determine which of the four methods shown in the dialog is correct. You can then specify the tags if necessary. The tags can then be entered in the corresponding data fields. |
The sections Preferred Given Name Coding, Married Name Coding and Marriage Data Coding include detailed configuration examples. Configuration of contact data coding is performed in the same way.
