Bruce,

This is the second entry regarding your previous questions, please read both replies.

A brief overview of what you probably don't understand.

GEDCOM is a file that contains a series of line of code. The rules are well established and documented. I've been wording with GEDCOM for well over 20 years. Each line of code has 3 components, 1) a level number signifying the hierarchy of the code level 0 will contain level 1 codes, while level 1 codes will contain level 2 code etc. 2) the code, it tells the reader what type of data follows, 3) the data

1 BIRT
2 DATE 3 MAR 2015
2 PLAC Bergen, Norway

The above code says this is a birth data point, and date of the birth is 3 MAR 2015, and the place of birth is Bergen, Norway.

So... For a NOTE coming from ACOM you would see the following:

1 NOTE The note information goes here and when it must
2 CONT continue to the next line you will see this.

So when I encircle the code I did for the note in my picture you should interpret that to show you what would come out of my test from ACOM. You need to look for the same thing from your extract from ACOM. Then compare that to what you see in RootsWeb, then ask RootsWeb tech why the difference. They will probably be the only ones that know since they wrote the import code.

Same is true for the OBJE picture code, but I suspect that is a lost cause.
