Why it gets the details right

Old files tooTrees saved in the old ANSEL character set, by PAF or early Family Tree Maker, open with every accent in its place: Łukasiewicz stays Łukasiewicz.
Any programEach genealogy program writes GEDCOM its own way. The quirks of Ancestry, MyHeritage, Family Tree Maker, RootsMagic, Legacy and others are read and kept when the tree is saved again.
Messy dates“abt 1890”, “12.03.1890”, Julian dates with a double year, Hebrew and French Republican calendars — read as dates, sorted in the right order, and rewritten in the standard form if you want.
