The GEDCOM export produces data in incorrect format?
I am using the latest version 3.1.0.1




Steps to follow:
- Create a simple genogram with just one person (I only entered data in four fields)
- Make an export to GEDCOM file
- Validate the format with either an online tool like http://ged-inline.elasticbeanstalk.com/
or with a free app for Windows https://chronoplexsoftware.com/gedcomvalidator/index.htm




Here is what I got:


I am afraid about the future of my data. What if I won't be able to export it into any other software...

The original GenoPro Gedcom export produces a file for use within GenoPro.
In other cases use the Export to GEDCOM via the Report Generator.
This produces a file in the latest standard format 5.5.1
There are later draft formats but 5.5.1 is standard for now

Earlier this year I used the Export to GEDCOM via the Report Generator feature and uploaded the file into a program called The Complete Genealogy Reporter to produce part of a book I was writing on my family history.

The export file was accurate and the reporting program did not have any issues with it.

I tried The Complete Genealogy Builder (free version) and its' merging functionality helped me A LOT with merging 4 version of gedcom files with conflicting entries. It is a great software.Thank you for recommending it!
