To Dave Bradshaw When you pick "Ancestors and family of ancestors", you get the children of the ancestors, but not the spouses of the children of the ancestors. If you want a larger group, you can try "Entire Branch" which includes a lot more. If you have picture files attached to people on the Media tab, they will probably end up as picture files if you import it again. Any sound, video, or PDF files will go to the Media tab. The gedcom file just shows what files are attached to people, and the gedcom file does not have a way to specify if a picture file should be picture or media.

John: I am creating a gedcom to send to a cousin. This will be records from my mother and her ancesters. The creation works fine but there are a couple of questions that arise out of the creation of the file. If I ask for "Ancestors of a Person plus family of each Ancestor" and my starting ancestor, my mother, has siblings, some of which married, the gedcom does not appear to copy the wife of a sibling. Should it? When the gedcom is redisplayed in BK, the media files are all shown under the Pictures tab. All the strings still point to the original files BK numbers and media or picture folders. As I want to send the associated media files and picture files along with the gedcom, does the creation of the gedcom create a file/files of the media and picture data which is written on the gedcom. If not, is there any way that maybe that could be looked at in the future. It would make it much easier to add those files as an attachment jpg so that the other person could link the data and the relative media/picture files into whichever program they are using. At the moment, one has to go through the gedcom file looking for whichever media file/picture file is displayed and then copy off the file itself for transfer as an attachment. Hope I've not confused you by now. Thanks, Dave Bradshaw

To John Steed 1) I notice that when entering names and using ctrl-enter to enter the surname, the cursor will then jump to the left side of the name field, to the beginning of the name. In most cases this is inconsequential. However, if you are adding Jr, Sr, II, M.D., etc to the name, you have to stop and move the cursor to the end of the name before continuing. Wouldn't it be simpler for the cursor to park at the end of the name when using ctrl-enter? 2) I'm about half way through a project entering about 3500 individuals. Many of these have events with an attached note. The data entra page for event notes has a button labeled "Click here to edit text" which changes to "Click here to save changes" when you're done. When working fast I usually have to consciously slow down to get the cursor on the button. This button is certainly wide enough but it could stand to be a bit bigger (taller). Also the Close button on the same page. 3) I know you can't easily do it, but predictive spelling would make data entry for locations a lot faster. Using f-8 or the ctrl-shift-f key procedures help a lot but are limited and slower. Effectus bonus addo bonus

Hello BK List members- First, it is great to see this list so active. Even last spring and summer, when most genealogy lists go dormant, the BK list continued to have active postings. I have read a couple of posts recently that refer to members having their BK information on their smart phones and or tables (i.e. iPad specifically). I am curious to know what programs are being used, and how the users would rate their ease and ability to get information into the devices. I have both an iPhone and iPad, and recently it would have been very helpful had I been able to have my BK information available. So what do you techno geeky fellow genealogists have to say?

To Bonnie Woolverton You can check the DropBox system that automatically copies data from one computer to another. You can google dropbox for information. Otherwise, you can make changes on one computer and then in BK do File, Backup on that computer and then do File, Restore data on the other computer.
