James;
the SECG tag is one of many that are NOT defined by the Gedcom standard,
but are produced by software (probably Mac family Tree in your case).
Gramps does not have a 'config file' that deals with this. But being open
source, you can of course modify anything or everything to suit your
needs. Most of the import code is in
something\gramps\plugins\lib\libgedcom.py where 'something' depends on your
OS. The learning curve can be a bit steep for most folks, however.
Since I have been maintaining the Gedcom import code lately, I might
consider making the modifications to support this if I knew what the tag
really means, and had a good proposal on what to do with it. I'm guessing
that we would use this to create an "Alternative name"; in Gramps edit a
person, look at the 'Names" tab and add another name.
You should submit this proposal to the Gramps bug tracker (use
severity:'feature') with a sample Gedcom file attached that contained at
least one of the SEGC tags in its usual usage.

Post by J & E NeildHi,
I have Gramps 4.2.5 on a MacOS machine, I'm trying to import a Gedcom file
where the middle names are being exported with a SECG "Second Given Name"
tag. Gramps appears to be ignoring it. Some of the posts I fond mentioned
it may be possible to change a config file for the python Gedcom library,
but I can't find it in my install.
Pointers gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
James
