I have a problem with an exported GECCOM where a FAMS record is missing.
The source .GED can be found in report http://familytrees.genopro.com/Keasoft/ourfamily/

In Genomap Kay, Ainsley Kay is linked to map Donaghue.
The INDI record for Ainsley Kay does not indicate that she married anybody:
0 @ind00040@ INDI
1 NAME Ainsley /Kay/
2 DISPLAY Ainsley Kay
2 GIVN Ainsley
2 SURN Kay
1 PICTURES @pic00053@
2 PRIMARY @pic00053@
1 POSITION 200,50
2 Z 120
2 GENOMAP Kay
2 BOUNDARY_RECT 174,76,226,3
1 SEX F
1 DEAT Y
1 ISDEAD Y
1 FAMC @fam00034@

There should be a "1 FAMS @fam00008@" record here, to indicate that she was the spouse of Steve Donohue.

This only happens (sometimes) with spouses linked across maps. Note that there is a FAMS record for Isabelle Kay who is in map Kay and linked to map Mason.

I am using Ancestral Author to print my trees and it needs this record to create complete reports.

Many thanks

I don't understand what your problem seems to be. If you double click her in the link you gave you can see her family with Steve Donaghue, which means that they are linked.

I know that GenoPro had a problem in the past with the export of hyperlinked individuals, but I think that this problem had been solved.

I agree, the GNO file and the GenoPro pgram are working correctly.

However the GED file is missing a FAMS record.

I am using the GED file with other software to print the trees.

The printout from the GED is missing members of the tree.

I think that this problem still exist.

The FAMS tag indicates the family number in which this individual is the spouse. The FAMC tag indicates the family in which this individual is the child. Since we are talking about different GenoMaps, one in which she is the child and a GenoMap in which she is the spouse, I guess that GenoPro is taking data from one GenoMap in building its GEDCOM file.

Your answer sound like a perfectly reasonable explanation for the bug.

My question now is when will it be fixed?

I have 14 linked Genomaps and cannot rely on the output.

Thanks for reporting the bug... we are aware there are many outstanding problems related with the Gedcom import/export.  We will fix this after releasing GenoPro 2.0.

You are welcome to try a VBscript, gnoxml2ged.vbs, I wrote some while back to convert a GenoPro .xml file to Gedcom format. Whilst I cannot guarantee its accuracy and I personally have not tested it properly with the later releases of GenoPro, others have had success with it and it is certainly worth a try. The script can be found here.

Just a thought - can't GenoPro use this code in current versions to export a GEDCOM file until v2.0 is released and GenoPro will develop it's solution?

Some day GenoPro will support macros which will be capable to run scripts like this one...
