Are you trying to understand how a specific piece of software creates a GEDCOM, or how a specific piece of software reads in a GEDCOM, or something else? I know the software that I use allows me to specify which individual(s) to include in a GEDCOM that I export. | |

| Aug 29, 2022 at 6:44 | comment | added | Colin | Checking the Gedcom v5.5.1 specification there is no root tag. Also checking a couple of my gedcom files there does not seem to be a custom tag indicating the root person. As a result I think that the root person will be defined by the application used if it is other than the first INDI record in the gedcom. | |
