The third task was to upload the GEDCOM file (created in RootsMagic 5) to a new Legacy Family Tree 7.5 database, and evaluate the problems found in the first referenced post. I split this effort into two posts - first Task 2a - Upload GEDCOM File to Family Tree Maker 2012 and Task 2B. The second task w as to upload the same GEDCOM file to Family Tree Maker 2012, review the issues, and then upload the FTM2012 tree to a new Ancestry Member Tree using the TreeSync feature. The first task was to create a GEDCOM file from my RootsMagic 5 database and upload it to a new Ancestry Member Tree, which I did in Task 1 - Upload RootsMagic 5 GEDCOM file to Ancestry Member Tree. In the referenced post, I set out three tasks to investigate where these problems occurred.

I showed in the referenced post that the GEDCOM created by RootsMagic 5 had correct double dates for Sarah Pray and a complete source citation detail for the 1920 U.S.

* Some long Source Citation details (more than 255 characters) were truncated. * Some of the "double dates" were wrong (one said "0001-20 March 1630" when it should have said "20 March 1630/1") The two problems with the resulting tree were that: In Problems in RM5, LFT7.5, FTM2012 and Ancestry Member Trees (3 September 2012), I noted two problems when I went from my RootsMagic 5 file to a GEDCOM file to a Legacy Family Tree 7.5 file to a second GEDCOM file to a Family Tree Maker 2012 file to as new Ancestry Member Tree.
