Hi, everyone, Just to dispel a little misinformation. When a GEDCOM is posted on World Connect you have COMPLETE control as to whether you want anyone to download it, and if so, how many generations. Also. a "living filter" can be used for anyone born after 1900. Also, you can control how many generations you want in your GEDCOM to begin with. Just mark the people you want, and make a separate GEDCOM of them. I keep a folder on my desktop just for the GEDCOM's I post to the web. I am grateful for the internet, as I have been able to make connections with a great many cousins, whom I never would have known, if not for the internet. Also, I have been able to find clues as to where to begin looking for those elusive ancestors, and to then write for proper documentation if it is available. Bonnie
