Linux Ubuntu Gramps v.5.1.6. In previous versions of Gramps when I exported a gedcom from Ancestry and imported it into Gramps I would get the Ancestry tags as a numerical string. Once I had identified the corresponding tag in Ancestry and changed the description in Gramps I had useful tags. These tags no longer seem to be being imported at all. Has Ancestry changed the content of the gedcom file or is Gramps discarding this information on import?
Are you sure about that workflow? (For workflows that are used repeatedly but only once in a blue moon, you might want to document the process in a Note and attach it to a placeholder “Gramps, workflows” person. The 1st line of the Note should be a terse summary.)
When Gramps imports a GEDCOM and doesn’t recognize the tag, it throws a warning and creates a Note with the unrecognized tag data. See Import from another genealogy program in the wiki.
That allows users to use SuperTool scripts and Filters to post-process the data.
That said, I vaguely recollect addons that import Acncestry data. (As I avoid Ancestry, they don’t make a lasting memory.) I’ll look around a bit.
Can you tell a little more about those tags? I have a tree on Ancestry, where I often process hints from free sources like the 1950 US census, but I don’t use tags on the site, so I have no idea how they are exported.
I need to add, that Ancestry GEDCOMs are quite messy, and they don’t have links to source media, like scans of those censuses. That’s why I often use RootsMagic to download my tree from there, with media. And that program exports much better GEDCOM files than Ancestry.
