Ian, If you choose the ‘Legacy’ option, instead of Gedcom 5.5, you will get the parent-child relationship statuses transferred and available in TNG.
Other export settings that I use for this: - character set UTF-8 - keep embedded formatting codes and convert to HTML style - unselect ‘Override source options’ - select your individuals (I use a tag for this) - customize: for example, I choose to remove _TODO, _UID, and QUAY. These don’t add much value for the TNG viewer, but they do add clutter. - privacy: I do nothing on export, choosing to handle privacy with TNG options Source options are tricky. Neither setting is perfect, but I get more of what I want without the override. Experiment with this. Depends how you have used the source detail fields in Legacy. After the export, I edit the GEDCOM file in Notepad, replacing all “_TYPE DOC” with “_TYPE DOCUMENT”. TNG was not recognizing my document media links, otherwise. For media files, I upload them into single, flat folder – no hierarchy of folders. (I.e., all pictures in one folder, and all documents in one folder.) TNG does not support media linked to source details, even though the links are in the GEDCOM.

Please, what kind of Gedcom to export, Basic, legacy, or ???. And, I am supposed to set a flag somewhere to include the photo links, but do not see where that was.
