Record Types

Submitter Records

Submitter 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 Submitter record is normally used when submitting a GEDCOM file to the LDS Church. In that case, it is used to identify the individuals or organisations that contributed information contained in the file. However, it can be used to identify the author of the information in your project, even if there is no intention of submitting your data to the LDS Church.
