Submission Record

Submission records are identified by this icon: Icon.  Although it is a global standard, the GEDCOM format used by Family Historian, was originally designed and specified by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Some of the fields and even records in GEDCOM are of significance only to members of the LDS Church. The Submission record is normally used when submitting a GEDCOM file to the LDS Church. In that case, the submission record is used to send instructions and information to the receiving system. These instructions are specific to the LDS Church. For more information, see the LDS Church.
