Subject: [GENBOX] Witness export
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 19:16:38 -0500


How does GenBox handle witnesses when exporting to gedcom? Does gedcom even
have the ability to handle such things? Do witnesses transfer through gedcom
between programs such as GB and TMG that do use witnesses? One of my
concerns with "non-standard" features of this type is that we will all
eventually have to transfer our data to other programs, probably many times,
during our lives, and I would be concerned about investing large amounts of
time in setting up witness events if they were subject to loss in
translation some years later.
