    *New [_Bat] field usage

    Does anyone know what or where this is? I get a list of relatives who appear to use this field preference but I can't see where it is marked on their family cards. *New [_Bat] is listed as a name on the Field preference list.

    This has come about because you imported a GEDCOM file that had it in.

    If you can figure out what kind of data it is, you can use Field Preferences to change its name from

    *New [_BAT]

    to something more explanatory.

      Thank you. I see that it does include a whole set of people from one Gedcom, but I don't see what relates them yet. I'll keep on it.

        Possibly the person who created the GEDCOM that you imported had used that field as a way of flagging all the people whom THEY added when importing some other GEDCOM? I.e., marking the "new batch" of people.

        If you turn on the preference to show that field, what data shows up in it? If it is blank, this may be the way that flags in the source software get exported to GEDCOM.
