Lol I need to update a web site Gedcom file and have contacted FTM direct and sadly found no real help so felt I would connect with the real experts seeking guidance please? :-)lol In FTM, 08/09 one exports a tree file and un-checks the items one does not wish to include in the gedcom? I have been through the original file and removed all "Research notes" as they cannot be excluded it seems, (FTM says)? Although I am including the entire tree and have unchecked all options when I open the new Gedcom I note all previous notes have now moved from Person notes to Research notes and are definitely still all there. Can anyone shed any light on what I can do please.. I just don't want to include all my notes and comments when sharing the tree? Cheers Aye Jim Patterson-Brewin Canada.
