I am contemplating updating from Legacy 5.0 Deluxe to 6.0. Most of the
features in the new version such as the research help is of no interest.
Since I export for display via PhpGedView, it is the GEDCOM export issue
that is of interest. I will post each GEDCOM question in it's own post
Legacy 5 (Can I assume that 6 is the same) exports Social Security in
GEDCOMS in the following format.
1 EVEN 123-45-6789
2 TYPE Social Security Number
Why is this used instead of the valid GEDCOM
1 SSN 123-45-6789
or
the country agnostic
1 IDNO 123-45-6789
2 TYPE Canadian Health Registration
1 IDNO 123-45-6789
2 TYPE Social Security Number
? The reason to do it this way is so that I can better control the display
of such data to public. I know that I can control this when I export it from
Legacy, but I would like it in the GEDCOm so that admins can see the data.
Thanks
