GEDCOM.Net doesn't support LDS tags #49

In the Experimental branch in SVN, the GEDCOM parsing is being switched to use the GEDCOM.Net project. Unfortunately GEDCOM.Net does not handle the LDS (Latter Day Saints) tags.

The GedcomRecordReader class needs to be extended to parse and store the LDS tags. See LDS_SPOUSE_SEALING and LDS_INDIVIDUAL_ORDINANCE in the GEDCOM Spec. The GEDCOM spec can be found at

The two tags are moderately similar to other quoteventquot (e.g. 'BAPM') or quotattributequot (e.g. 'CAST') tags so that emulating that code might work for the LDS tags. There are, however, distinct properties which will need to be handled. Also, for the first pass, merely store the Temple Code as entered.

The attached GED file contains instances of the SLGS, SLGC and BAPL tags.
