In order to answer your question it is necessary to know what data you want to send and how your recipients will examine the data. For example, you could export a subset of your data as a GEDCOM file, but this would not include photos nor other Multimedia images. Your recipients abroad would need to know how to use some Genealogy software to view the GEDCOM data. Alternatively, you could create Reports &/or Diagrams in Adobe Reader PDF which needs no special software to view them. Let us know what you have in mind.

Are they able to see what you have sent without any FH software. I copy details from FH to FTM and all media details, photos, census images etc do not appear in FTM Victor Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: "Alan Prestwich" <alprest@freeuk.com> Sender: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2011 15:41:33 To: <family-historian-users@rootsweb.com> Reply-To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FHU] Specific families I have sent various relatives in both Canada and the USA copies of FH and I said I would follow up with their particular families via USBso they could continue the hobby.

Alan, when you say you have sent "copies of FH", I presume that you mean separately purchased licensed copies of Version 4.1.3. Otherwise you are breaking the copyright & licence terms of FH. I also assume you are using the V4 Project structure. Use the File > Project Window > More Tasks > Copy Project option to create a duplicate of your data including all Multimedia picture and document images. The use File > Split Tee Helper or File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File on this duplicate to eliminate unwanted Individuals. Read through the associated advice on their respective Help buttons and use a Query to select the required Individuals to keep/remove. If using Export GEDCOM option do NOT tick "Exclude all records which are not linked to the selected Individual records" as it will exclude more than you want I think you will have to delete any Multimedia images that are not needed by hand (if you really need to). Finally copy the entire Project folder to USB and send. Alternatively, you could compress the entire Project folder into a Compressed ZIP file and send that as an E-mail attachment if it is not too big. Hope that helps. If any of my assumptions are not correct then please reply.
