Work around: 1. Paste Duplicate Source works for Name if you are in the Person Tab View, rather than in the Family Tab View 2. While you are in the Person Tab View, Copy the Source for the Name Fact. Once you copy it in the Person View, it will work in the Family view without a problem.

If there was an adoption, it would be easy enough to document. One COULD put in more than one name, making the newly coined name at the adoption the preferred name and giving the date of the adoption as the date thereof. John Okerson Memphis, TN

The question was not about whether FTM 2012 can export your file to a GEDCOM file. You can. There are several options for doing this. You can elect to export it as an FTM 16 GEDCOM (this would be the option to use to import the GEDCOM file into FTM 16 or earlier due to the difference in handling the Comment/Place information. The other option is to export the file as a GEDCOM 5.5 file. What I said was in relation to the question of using FTM 2012 to "upload a GEDCOM" file to Ancestry.com. In versions before FTM 2012, you had the ability to upload your file to Ancestry.com. It used a modified GEDCOM file. I say it was modified because it include information about media and so it could upload your media files to the AMT. In FTM 2012, you can share your file by uploading it to Ancestry.com. No idea how the information is transmitted. You don't get an external file. The information is uploaded to Ancestry.com. You can either link the Ancestry Member Tree (AMT) to your PC file or you can elect to not link the two files.
