Jim, Thank you for replying so quickly. I was just hoping some clever person had already succesfully exported and imported their family trees. I will give it a go as you suggest. |

Hawkwind you are right. PAF reported several problems when importing my tree. They were all to do with husbands and wives being the wrong sex. I ran a check/repair on it and those problems appear to be fixed. However some of my dd/mm/ccyy dates appear in my PAF tree with the prefix ABT while other dd/mm/ccyy dates do not have this prefix. |

It should not be a problem, the dates get corrupted because people do not enter them correctly, never, ever put 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. into your date, just 1 November for example, if you are not sure then enter abt or about. This is standard gedcom format and will not get corrupted. |
