    Although PGV (and other applications) let you add associates to facts (level 1), the gedcom 5.5.1 specification only lets you add associates to records (level 0).  On page 31, it says "The association pointer only associates INDIvidual records to INDIvidual records.".  So, you cannot associate an INDI with a BIRT.

    Unless you have some specific need to be strictly compliant with the 5.5.1 spec, then don't worry about it.
