Allan,

I would never be so rude as to embarrass Jon publicly, but I immediately
suspected he didn't set some of the export flags correctly when he
produced the GEDCOM. In other words, the problem is *not* in the
diversity of software but in a defective file.

This was confirmed a day or two ago in a private post I received from an
unfamiliar name on the Whiyney list which escapes me at the moment
(Rich?). He had shown the file to several database pros who pinpointed
the problem, and my correspondent was going to work with Jon to crank
out another GEDCOM, this time with the note and source flags turned on.

Best wishes,

Christopher Brooks
