Like one or two others, I have been experimenting with downloading a
GEDCOM file from Ancestry to see how the sources are imported.
Well, the first thing to note is that they import in Basic Format!
Having said that, I notice that the import procedure seems to have one
or two problems with a particular, Ancestry-defined tag - _APID. Does
anyone have any idea what this tag is trying to convey? It's not al all
obvious from an examination of the downloaded GEDCOM text, what the tag
is all about.
In the LOG file generated from the import procedure, I see many messages
of the following form:-
Main Record: 0 @S1029350835@ SOUR
* Unrecog. Line for a Source Record: 1 _APID 7572
Placed in Note : _APID 7572
These, together with one or two more explicit errors that I can't correct
Main Record: 0 @P4193015077@ INDI
Sub Section: 1 SEX M
