Hello. First of all, I think this is the best online family tree/history software I have come across in terms of the presentation. I do have a question, or maybe a feature request. When I upload my gedcom my source citations aren't displayed. The name of the source is the only thing displayed (e.g., 1850 United State Federal Census). I am using Gramps for my family tree, so maybe that's the issue, but I thought gedcom was a common standard.

Welcome to the Genosis forum!

Thanks for the positive feedback - I really appreciate that!

Genosis does import GEDCOM files, and it uses the source "TITL" field when naming the source. Do you have a GEDCOM file I could check out and see if something is being overlooked? I can test import it here on my dev system and see if something needs to be adjusted. So far my testing has been mainly with Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker GEDCOM files, so I've not seen a Gramps GEDCOM file, but based on my experience with FTM and Ancestry.com, it wouldn't surprise me if the GEDCOM fields were being used a bit differently.

Hope this helps!
