I just tried the new XML Toolkit and it worked perfectly!!
I used the new facility to transfer Place names from custom tags BIRT.place, BAPM.place, DEAT.place and BURI.place to regular GenoPro fields. I had populated those custom fields using an EXCEL spreadsheet and copy/paste operations within the GenoPro Table Layout. One note is that within Tag Editor, to set up the custom tags, the exact names above (BIRT.place, etc) must be in the Tag Permanent Name field, not Tag Display Name or Tag Description. Once I got that right, XML Toolkit processed 8,000+ entries, moving all that data into the regular GenoPro fields... which will now export into GEDCOM and so forth.
Thank you SO MUCH, genome... you saved me an infinite amount of time, because I never would have tried doing all that manually!!
Now I need to work on my census data... see if I can extract all that into custom fields. You see I have lumped a lot of data into the General Comments field, which works well for my normal Reporting using Ancestral Author, but it doesn't work well for uploading to Ancestry.com.

Again, thanks for the recent tweaks to XML Toolkit.
I'm wondering if the same tweaks could be added for Marriage and Divorce locations:
Custom Tag ----> GenoPro Tag
MARR.place ----> Place (Union Place)
DIV.place ----> Divorce.Place
A person can have more than one Union, but these are grouped by Union, so additional marriages will have separate records.
I'm struggling with my Census data, which is lumped into General Comments as well, but I can extract it into custom tags in the form of 'yyyy Census Entry' ..... e.g. - '1930 US Federal Census, Albany, Albany Co., NY'
There will normally be multiple census records per individual and I don't know if these could be stacked into the 'Contact - Occupancy Place' fields in successive order.
But if possible, I'd like to see the following:
Custom Tag ----> GenoPro Tag
CENS1.place ----> Place (Occupancy Place) - 1st spot
CENS2.place ----> Place (Occupancy Place) - 2nd spot
-to-
CENS9.place ----> Place (Occupancy Place) - 9th spot
Up to 9 Census Places per person.
Thanks again for your help.

Just to say I am looking into this now. Hopefully I can modify the existing CENS processing to handle this and also add some MARR/DIV.place handling to the Union objects.
Hope to have something ready in a days or so

Thanks, genome. One issue I see is that my custom tags for marriage and divorce location are within the Family Dialog Layout, whereas the GenoPro permanent fields are within the Union Dialog layout. I see that there can be multiple unions for each family, although I have not used more than one for each. Are you able to pick up custom tags from any of the layout sections?

Hopefully Toolkit version 2014.01.27 does the job

The new XML Toolkit Version 2014.01.27 worked like a charm on converting custom tags for Marriage and Divorce places.
I'm still working on data transposing for the Census records and I'll report back later.
Thanks again!!
