I am looking for a good program to comvert the data to that saves the data corretly. Genopro looks pretty good but I appear to have ran into a bug. My gold standard for a good program is one that allows notes for the database (not just individuals) and the can import a GED file and export a GED file without losing any of the information in the file. The problem I ran into with GenoPro is with Twins. Looking at the GED output of the program I notice that there is a section at the back showing which family each set of twins belongs to. That section looks like this: 0 @twin000001@ Twin 1 FAMILY @fam00032@ 0 @twin000002@ Twin 1 FAMILY @fam00037@ Importing this data into Genopro works great but exporting the GED destroys this section as only the first TWIN header is output looking something like this: 0 @twin000001@ Twin 1 FAMILY @fam00032@ 1 FAMILY @fam00037@ In addition if you try to import this file it will complain about the missing headers.
