Help needed, please! Is it possible to transfer sources only? I want to start a new project based strictly on the evidence lurking haphazardly in several others. I have made a query produce a named list of sources plus full text. I can't export this as a ged file since it isn't a list of individuals. I can export it as a csv file, but that won't import/merge into the new project. Am I missing something? Ian

Hang on. Is this the (only) way? For each originating project, make a copy. In each copy delete everything except the sources and (say) one root person. Merge all the copies to form the new project. ? In which case, it will need doing very carefully and with a lot of backups.... Ian On 11/02/2012 21:00, Ian Constable wrote: Help needed, please!

Ian, There is nothing to stop you exporting only Source Records (or only other types of Record) using File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File. (This is an FH V4 feature). Remember to untick Exclude all records which are not linked to the selected Individual records. Carefully select the other Exclude options, because you may want to keep Repository &/or Multimedia &/or Note records. There is warning that you have selected no Individuals, but you can continue anyway. It seems to work fine.
