MOVENAME is a small utility program that will assist you in correcting
the ambiguity of place name level assignments found in files you receive
as GEDCOM and or download from the Ancestral File in GEDCOM format.
We have all seen that the Ancestral File contributions are from many
sources and not all use the same conventions to select the level for the
City, County, State, Country when submitting data. The process of
correcting these entries can be tremendous and at time almost as long as
a standard keyboard input of the data.
MOVENAME will allow you to do the following in a database created from
an Ancestral File or other sources that exhibit those properties.
1. Change the name, spelling, or name format of any name in any place
field for the entire database.
2. Move a name from one place field to another with a corresponding
name change, spelling correction, or name format change during the
move.
3. If a name is changed and the new name is not in the NAME2.DAT file,
then MOVENAME will add it.
4. MOVENAME makes these changes on a global basis with no regard to
RIN# and/or event type with the following exception: Options are
provided to block any event fields from the selected moves. This
will allow you to retain your place name field alignment for
burials and christening in fields different than the birth and death
by blocking these events on the menu.
