T2G: Private Section

Overview

The Private Section contains properties that determine whether people are marked "private" in the GEDCOM file.

When a person is marked private:

The primary name is included in the GEDCOM file subject to the Private Names property described below.
All non-primary names are suppressed.
All events are suppressed.
Primary relationships are included in the GEDCOM file so that a person marked private will be linked as the parent or child of another person.

Living People Private

When Living People Private is checked, living people will be marked private.

When Living People Private is checked, living people do not have to pass the Private Filter to be marked private. Any person with Living=? or Living=Y will be marked private and the Private Filter will not be evaluated for those people.

Private Filter

Use the Private Filter property to select people you want to treat as private. You may use the Private Filter in addition to the Living People Private property or as a replacement for it.

The Private Filter property is applied after the Living People Private property. If a person is marked private by the Living People Private property, the Private Filter property is not evaluated and the person is marked private even if he or she would not have passed the Private Filter.

For more information about filters, see the Filters page.

Private Names

When a person is marked private, the Private Names property determines the contents of the GEDCOM NAME record for the person. There are three choices:

Private – The NAME record will have a given name of "Private" and an empty surname. This is the default.
Private <surname> – The NAME record will have a given name of "Private" and the person's primary surname.
Primary Name – The NAME record will have the person's primary name.

Living and Deceased

Some logic in TMG to GEDCOM depends on whether a person is living or deceased. The sole determinant is TMG's Living flag. If the Living flag is set to "N", the person is considered deceased. If the Living flag is set to any other value, including "Y" or "?", the person is considered living.

Counts

The TMG to GEDCOM log file includes a section that indicates how many people were included, excluded, marked private, etc.
