and CHILD. These words should be interpreted as being an approximate age at an event. (See
<AGE_AT_EVENT>, page 42.)
! The family event context in the FAMily record now allows the ages of both the husband and wife at
the time of the event to be shown. (See FAM_RECORD page 24)
! The <<PERSONAL_NAME_STRUCTURE>> structure now allows name pieces to be specifically
identified as subordinate parts of the name line. Most products will not use subordinate name pieces.
A nickname can now be included on the name line by enclosing it in double quotation marks (changed
in 5.5.) Note: Systems using the subordinate name parts must still provide the name structure
formed in the same way specified for <NAME_PERSONAL> (see page 54.)
! A submission record was added to GEDCOM to enable the sending system to transmit information
which will enable the receiving system to more appropriately process the GEDCOM data. The format
currently designed for the submission record was created specifically for TempleReady
™
system and
for GEDCOM files being downloaded from Ancestral File
™
. (See SUBMISSION_RECORD, page
28.)
! A RESTRICTION (RESN) tag and a <RESTRICTION_NOTICE> primitive were added to the
INDIVIDUAL_RECORD context. (Also added to the family record in 5.5.1.) This allows some
records in Ancestral File to be marked for privacy (indicating some personal information is not
included) and some records to be marked as locked (indicating that Ancestral File will not make
changes to the record without authorization from an assigned record steward).
