Then you only have to use the filter, and export the results as a GEDCOM. Alternatively, some software allows the insertion of "living" for the personal name of those still alive, and doesn't export birth dates.

My name only is listed. My parents are both listed as "Unknown" so that none of their details are shown ... and then I continue the tree beyond that. As for prompt replying to contacts, the other issue I have had is that sometimes I don't seem to receive the notification from GR that there is a message for me. When I have received a notification, I've then discovered also an earlier message that may have been there some weeks. Karen
