There is now a patch available for phpgedview which will fix Ancestry's bad gedcom coding by reprocessing your ancestry file and correcting the lack of FAMC and FAMS tags. See this link for more details.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid...

Also, I've been in touch with admin at Ancestry about this, see their email response here:

"The developer here at Ancestry.com that created the GEDCOM download feature had tested its functionality with most of the popular software packages, but not with the ones that you use. He is now aware that improvements need to be made and he has assured me that they will be made. Unfortunately, it may be several months before a window with enough time for him to fix the problem will occur in his schedule. Thanks for mentioning the problem on the message board and thus bringing it to our attention."

Months??? The php script developed by the phpgedview developers is all of 25 lines long and took an afternoon to write?
