 * Hi
 * I’m trying to import a .GED file. However, it is never importing any persons 
   or structures despite MacFamilyTree creates the full genealogical tree from the
   same GED file. Is there anything broken with the GED file?
 * Thanks a lot for your help!

 * I had the same problem. Try changing the line feed format option on the Gedcom
   export in MacFamilyTree to “Windows”. I actually created a new Windows text file
   and copied and pasted the data and saved it as a new file.

 * [@phurwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phurwood/) Amazing, thanks a 
   lot for the trick – it worked 🙂
 * [@akdevs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akdevs/) Thanks a lot for your 
   fast answer! It resolved in the meantime with the above trick 🙂 It seems that
   your plugin has issues with different forms of line break definitions.
 * Anyways, thanks again to both of you 🙂
