1 NOTE This file demonstrates all tags that are allowed in GEDCOM 5.5. Here are some comments about the HEADER record 
2 CONC and comments about where to look for information on the other 9 types of GEDCOM records. Most other records will 
2 CONC have their own notes that describe what to look for in that record and what to hope the importing software will find.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Many applications will fail to import these notes. The notes are therefore also provided with the files as a plain-text 
2 CONC "Read-Me" file.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT The HEADER Record:
2 CONT      This record has all possible tags for a HEADER record. In uses one custom tag ("_HME") to see what the software 
2 CONC will say about custom tags.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT INDIVIDUAL Records:
2 CONT      This file has a small number of INDIVIDUAL records. The record named "Joseph Tag Torture" has all possible 
2 CONC tags for an INDIVIDUAL record. All remaining  individuals have less tags. Some test specific features; for example:
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Name: Standard GEDCOM Filelinks
2 CONT      Name: Nonstandard Multimedia Filelinks
2 CONT      Name: General Custom Filelinks
2 CONT      Name: Extra URL Filelinks
2 CONT           These records link to multimedia files mentioned by the GEDCOM standard and to a variety of other types of 
2 CONC multimedia files, general files, or URL names.
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Name: Chris Locked Torture
2 CONT           Has a "locked" restriction (RESN) tag - should not be able to edit this record it. This record has one set of notes 
2 CONC that is used to test line breaking in notes and a few other text-parsing features of the GEDCOM software. Read those 
2 CONC notes to see what they are testing.
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Name: Sandy Privacy Torture
2 CONT           Has a "privacy" restriction (RESN) tag. Is the tag recognized and how is the record displayed and/or printed?
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Name: Chris Locked Torture
2 CONT      Name: Sandy Privacy Torture
2 CONT      Name: Pat Smith Torture
2 CONT           The three children in this file have unknown sex (no SEX tag). An ancestor tree from each should give five 
2 CONC generations of ancestors.
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Name: Charlie Accented ANSEL
2 CONT      Name: Lucy Special ANSEL
2 CONT           The notes in these records use all possible special characters in the ANSEL character set. The header of this file 
2 CONC denotes this file as using the ANSEL character set. The importing software should handle these special characters in a 
2 CONC reasonable way.
2 CONT 
2 CONT      Name: Torture GEDCOM Matriarch
2 CONT            All individuals in this file are related and all are descendants (or spouses of descendants) of Torture GEDCOM 
2 CONC Matriarch. A descendant tree or report from this individual should show five generations of descendants.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT FAMILY Records:
2 CONT      The FAMILY record for "Joseph Tag Torture" (husband) and "Mary First Jones" (wife) has all tags allowed in 
2 CONC family records. All other family records use only a few tags and are used to provide records for extra family links in 
2 CONC other records.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT SOURCE Records:
2 CONT      There are two SOURCE records in this file. The "Everything You Every Wanted to Know about GEDCOM Tags" 
2 CONC source has all possible GEDCOM tags for a SOURCE record. The other source only has only a few tags.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT REPOSITORY Record:
2 CONT      There is just one REPOSITORY record and it uses all possible tags for such a record.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT SUBMITTER Records:
2 CONT      This file has three SUBMITTER records. The "John A. Nairn" record has all tags allowed in such records. The 
2 CONC second and third submitter are to test how programs input files with multiple submitters. The GEDCOM standard does 
2 CONC not allow for notes in SUBMITTER records. Look in the "Main Submitter" to verify all address data comes through, 
2 CONC that all three phone numbers appear, and that the multimedia file link is preserved.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT MULTIMEDIA OBJECT Record:
2 CONT      The one MULTIMEDIA record has all possible tags and even has encoded data for a small image of a flower. There 
2 CONC are no known GEDCOM programs that can read or write such records. The record is included here to test how 
2 CONC programs might respond to finding multimedia records present. There are possible plans to eliminate encoded 
2 CONC multimedia objects in the next version of GEDCOM. In the future all multimedia will be included by links to other files. 
2 CONC To test current file links and extended file links, see the "Filelinks" family records described above.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT SUBMISSION Record:
2 CONT      The one (maximum allowed) SUBMISSION record in this file has all possible tags for such a record.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT NOTE Records:
2 CONT      This file has many NOTE records. These are all linked to other records.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT TRLR Records:
2 CONT      This file ends in the standard TRLR record.
2 CONT 
2 CONT --------------------------
2 CONT ADDITIONAL NOTES
2 CONT      This file was originally created by H. Eichmann at <h.eichmann@@mbox.iqo.uni-hannover.de> and posted on the 
2 CONC Internet.
2 CONT 
2 CONT (NOTE: email addresses are listed here with double "at" signs. A rule of GEDCOM parsing is that these should be 
2 CONC converted to single "at" at signs, but not many programs follow that rule. In addition, that rule is not needed and may be 
2 CONC abandoned in a future version of GEDCOM).
2 CONT 
2 CONT This original file was extensively modified by J. A. Nairn using GEDitCOM 2.9.4 (1999-2001) at 
2 CONC <support@@geditcom.com> and posted on the Internet at <http://www.geditcom.com>. Some changes included many 
2 CONC more notes, the use or more tags, extensive testing of multimedia file links, and some notes to test all special ANSEL 
2 CONC characters.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Feel free to copy and use this GEDCOM file for any  non-commercial purpose.

2 CONT For selecting the allowed tags, the GEDCOM standard Release 5.5 (2 JAN 1996) was used. Copyright: The Church of 
2 CONC Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, <gedcom@@gedcom.org>.

2 CONT This record contains all possible types of data that can be stored in a FAMILY 
2 CONC (FAM) GEDCOM record. Here are some comments on the data tested here and 
2 CONC things to look for when this file is imported into any GEDCOM application:
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1. The marriage event (MARR) uses all possible tags for such a structure including 
2 CONC notes, sources, and a link to a multimedia file.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 2. This family has two children.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 3. This family has all possible family events (including a generic event or EVEN 
2 CONC structure). Some notes are:
2 CONT      a. The engaged structure has all possible tags for event detail.
2 CONT      b. The annulment event (ANUL) has no data except a "Y" in the first line to 
2 CONC indicate that the event has occurred. The importing software should keep this event in 
2 CONC this record even though it contains no data.
2 CONT      c. The LDS Spouse Sealing event tests all possible detail tags for an LDS.
2 CONT      d. The TYPE tag of each event has the name of the GEDCOM tag for that event. 
2 CONC There is no TYPE tag in the annulment event because that structure is empty.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 4. This record has this one note structure which is to a set of embedded notes (and 
2 CONC which you are reading now).
2 CONT 
2 CONT 5. This record has one source citation.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 6. This record is linked a submitter.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 7. This record has all remaining tags allowed in FAMILY records for user reference

1 CONC Comments on "Joseph Tag Torture" INDIVIDUAL Record.
1 CONT 
1 CONT This record contains all possible types of data that can be stored in an INDIVIDUAL (INDI) 
1 CONC GEDCOM record. Here are some comments on the data tested here and things to look for 
1 CONC when this file is imported into any GEDCOM application:
1 CONT 
1 CONT 1. This record has two NAME structures. How will a program handle this type of data which 
1 CONC is allowed in GEDCOM? (Because some GEDCOM files get very bothered by a second 
1 CONC name, the files TGC551.ged and TGC551LF files are identical to the TGC55.ged and 
1 CONC TGC55LF.ged files except only one name structure is used for this individual - hence the "1" 
1 CONC in their names).
1 CONT 
1 CONT 2. The first NAME structure has all possible subordinate tags for a NAME structure 
1 CONC including source and notes a source citation and some notes. The second NAME structure 
1 CONC (when used) has a source citation and some notes. Are these all imported?
1 CONT 
1 CONT 3. The Birth and Death events use all possible fields including subordinate tags, sources, 
1 CONC multimedia links (in Birth), and notes. The birth data has an attached family link which is 
1 CONC sometimes needed in case of ambiguous parentage.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 4. This individual has two spouses. The links to the spouses have attached notes.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 5. This individual has two sets of parents - natural parents and adoptive parents. Each parent 
1 CONC link has attached notes. The adoptive parents has a subordinate pedigree (PEDI) tag.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 6. This individual has all possible events (including a generic event or EVEN structure). The 
1 CONC GEDCOM tags for the events are given in the TYPE tag of each event. Some comments are:
1 CONT      a. The baptism record has all possible tags for event detail.
1 CONT      b. There are 2 christening records to see how programs react to duplicate events (which 
1 CONC are allowed).
1 CONT      c. The adoption event has a family link to give more information about adoptive parentage.
1 CONT      d. The cremation event (CREM) has no data except a "Y" in the first line to indicate that 
1 CONC the event has occurred. The importing software should keep this event in this record even 
1 CONC though it contains no data (The GEDCOM tag is not in this TYPE tag).
1 CONT      e. The LDS Baptism event tests all possible detail tags for an LDS ordinance.
1 CONT      f. The LDS confirmation has no data except a "Y" in the first line to indicate that the event 
1 CONC has occurred. The importing software should keep this event in this record even though it 
1 CONC contains no data.
1 CONT      g. The date fields in the various events test the possible GEDCOM methods for 
1 CONC expressing dates, approximate dates, date ranges, and interpreted dates. There are also a few 
1 CONC Hebrew dates, French Republic dates. and "B.C" dates.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 7. The residence structure use all possible subordinate tags in the address part of the 
1 CONC residence.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 8. This individual has all possible attributes. The GEDCOM tags for the attributes are given 
1 CONC in the TYPE tag of each attribute. Some notes are:
1 CONT      a. There are 2 occupation attributes to test how programs handle multiple tags of the same 
1 CONC type (which is allowed).
1 CONT      b. The first OCCU attribute uses all possible subordinate tags for an attribute.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 9. This record has three note structures. The first is this set of notes which is in a separate 
1 CONC NOTE record. The other two are NOTE structures embedded in the record. Are all imported 
1 CONC and kept separate? Furthermore, the two embedded note structures have subordinate source 
1 CONC citations. The second set of notes has a source citation to a SOURCE record and the third set 
1 CONC of notes has an embedded source citation.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 10. This record has three source citations. Two are citations to a SOURCE record; one is an 
1 CONC embedded source citation (used in older GEDCOM files).
1 CONT 
1 CONT 11. This record has one link to a multimedia file. For more testing of multimedia links, see 
1 CONC the "Standard GEDCOM Filelinks," "Nonstandard Multimedia Filelinks," "General Custom 
1 CONC Filelinks," and "Extra URL Filelinks" INDIVIDUAL records.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 12. This individual has one alias and two associations. All possible tags in the first 
1 CONC association link are used.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 13. This record is linked to a submitter and to two submitters with interest in the ancestors 
1 CONC and descendants of this individual.
1 CONT 
1 CONT 14. This record has all remaining tags allowed in individual records for user reference 
1 CONC number, record ID, record file number, ancestral file number, and the changed date.

1 CONC Comments on "Standard GEDCOM Filelinks" INDIVIDUAL Record.
1 CONT 
1 CONT The GEDCOM standard lets you link records to multimedia objects kept in separate 
1 CONC files. When GEDCOM 5.5 was released, it only mentioned allowing links to a small 
1 CONC number of multimedia files types and some of them are Windows-only file types. 
1 CONC The recommended list is
1 CONT 
1 CONT      bmp - Windows but map file
1 CONT      gif - Bit map, 256 color GIF files (common on the Internet)
1 CONT      jpeg - Bit-mapped files developed for photographs (also common on the Internet)
1 CONT      ole - Linked object
1 CONT      pcx - Windows paintbrush file
1 CONT      tiff - Tagged image format file
1 CONT      wav - Windows sound file
1 CONT 
1 CONT This INDIVIDUAL record has links to this limited set of multimedia files (except 
1 CONC for ole). These links are created by having an OBJE structure with the path name to 
1 CONC the file in a subordinate FILE tag and the format of the file in a subordinate FORM 
1 CONC tag.
1 CONT 
1 CONT It does not make sense to limit files links to this small set of file types. It does not 
1 CONC allow for future file types and, for example, it ignores movie files types. You can visit 
1 CONC the "Nonstandard Multimedia Filelinks" record to see links to other types of multimedia files. 
1 CONC You can visit the "General Custom Filelinks" and the "Extra URL Filelinks" records to see links to 
1 CONC any file type and to universal resource locators.
1 CONT 
1 CONT NOTE: The path names for the linked files here are just the file names. A good 
1 CONC GEDCOM program should search for the files and might look first in the same 
1 CONC folder as this test GEDCOM file. A weaker program might be unable to locate these 
1 CONC files and you will have to enter the full path names.
1 CONT 
1 CONT EMBEDDED Multimedia Object:
1 CONT      GEDCOM 5.5 has a method for encoding multimedia objects and storing them in 
1 CONC MULTIMEDIA Records. This INDIVIDUAL has a link to such an embedded 
1 CONC object. The object has encoded data, written using the GEDCOM 5.5 encoding 
1 CONC algorithm, for the image of a small flower. To my knowledge, there are no genealogy 
1 CONC programs that can actually read and decode such objects. The main reason for 
1 CONC inclusion of the object here is to see how programs will treat this record. Good 
1 CONC programs will leave them in the file (it is bad manners to delete someone's data). Bad 
1 CONC programs will simple delete the object from the file.

1 CONC Comments on "Chris Locked Torture" record.
1 CONT 
1 CONT These notes test line breaking in note records with multiple lines. These notes are for 
1 CONC a locked individual and thus you should not be able to edit them.
1 CONT 
1 CONT TEST #1: Line breaks in the middle of a word
1 CONT      These lines appear together. The word TE
1 CONC ST should appear as a single word and 
1 CONC not be broken onto two lines.
1 CONT 
1 CONT TEST #2: Translation of "at" signs
1 CONT      The GEDCOM standard says the "@@" sign should appear in any text in the file 
1 CONC as double "@@@@" signs. This recommendation is superfluous, because there is 
1 CONC never a case when an "@@" sign in data can be confused with other GEDCOM uses 
1 CONC of the "@@" sign. The question here is how does the software import:
1 CONT 
1 CONT      A single @@ sign in some notes entered by using two characters.
1 CONT 
1 CONT If all "at" signs above appear above as 2 or 4 at signs, that GEDCOM software is not 
1 CONC converting double at signs to single at signs.
1 CONT 
1 CONT TEST #3: Bad line breaks between word but a forgotten space
1 CONT      A little below, the words "End" and "Start" are on two lines in the note record. 
1 CONC The line with "End," however, forgot the required trailing blank. Thus, a proper 
1 CONC importing of these bad notes should combine the two words with no space between 
1 CONC "End" and "Start". Here is End
1 CONC Start as described above. They should appear as one 
1 CONC word.
1 CONT 
1 CONT TEST #4: Blank lines
1 CONT      The above paragraphs should have blank lines between them.
