GEDCOM Tags recognised but not supported

I have just received a fascinating GEDCOM file that I could import into
gramps. However, there are some tags 'recognised but not supported',
for example: 3 _LOC @P29@

Lines like these apparently point to lines at the end of the file that
contain, e.g.:
0 @P29@ _LOC
1 NAME Nordhausen

And those records at the end of the file are not imported with the
remark: "Records not imported into Top Level:

Line ignored as not understood Line
2842: 0 P29 _LOC
Skipped subordinate line Line
2843: 1 NAME Laon Neustrien"

Is it possible to modify these lines to make them importable, does
anyone know?

Cheers
Harvey

Re: GEDCOM Tags recognised but not supported

Hi Harvey,

Sounds like you have a GEDCOM with the German extension to GEDCOM 5.5 called Gedcom 5.5EL, which adds support for storing additional information for locations.

Would you be able to create an example file and add it to the related feature request (Or email me directly)?

Related feature request is here:

Thank you

Sam

Re: GEDCOM Tags recognised but not supported

Hi Sam,

yes, you are right it would be the German extension. I am not sure I could construct a valid file, so I will send it for you to do.

Cheers

Harvey

Re: GEDCOM Tags recognised but not supported

Hi Harvey,

did you get a solution, how to replace the _LOC tags with standard Gedcom 5.5 tags?

Thanks
Markus

Re: GEDCOM Tags recognised but not supported

No, as far as I can tell! I tried looking for the (10-year-old!)
Bug/Feature request in Mantis with no success! So I wonder if it has
been 'retired'. But again, maybe I'm too dim to know how to find it. I
thought I had added a note to it, but it doesn't turn up in the filter.

Is there an easy way to edit a GEDCOM file to replace _LOC tags with
standard Gedcom 5.5 tags? I don't really want to learn GEDCOM
'language'.

Cheers
Harvey

...sorry for the top post...the habit of a lifetime :-)

The feature request is #688 at
https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=688

There has been no movement on it.

Re: GEDCOM Tags recognised but not supported

In reply to this post by Harvey Nimmo

In the file of the bug request (Vorfahren von Zacharias Bötticher.ged) the _LOC entries only contains the PLAC names e.g.:
0 @P41@ _LOC
1 NAME St. Aegidien Osterode

and this NAME is already given to the PLAC tag:
0 @I1@ INDI
1 NAME Zacharias /Bötticher/
1 SEX M
1 OCCU Pastor
1 RELI ev
1 BIRT
2 DATE ABT 1610
2 PLAC St. Aegidien Osterode,,,
3 _LOC @P41@

So I think that no information should be lost from this import.
You can prove it in your program. If Zacharias Bötticher has the birth place St. Aegidien Osterode.
Everything's OK.

Greetings
Markus

Yes, you are right. The import still complains about the _LOC tags but
the PLAC tag is imported without error. Thanks for the tip.

Cheers
Harvey
