While GED-GEN was being developed, RootsMagic changed the way it exports source citations to a GEDCOM file. The initial revisions of version 4.0 included source templates, but these have since been removed.
As of version 4.1.1.4, RootsMagic still does not export source citations properly, either with or without source templates. In GED-GEN, please choose the option for RootsMagic and not RootsMagic Templates. See the “Special Processing” option under GEDCOM on the Program tab.
GED-GEN removes empty space and extraneous punctuation in the source citations exported by RootsMagic. Your citations and bibliography entries may be worded strangely, but all the information is still present.
RootsMagic has since released its new version 5.0. I am not going to upgrade to the new version until I know this fundamental problem with source templates is fixed. It’s been nearly two years since this problem was reported and it doesn’t look like it will ever be addressed. Meanwhile, I recommend using another genealogy database program so that your source citations display properly.
