There were some Questions about making a GEDCOM File of just one Family Line: Answer I hope: Working with GEDCOM FILES Sharing Part of a Family File Tip To determine the individual to select, first you need to determine the line you want to share. Find the child of that line in the Index of Individuals. 1. Press the F2 key. The Index of Individuals dialog box will open. 2. Click on the appropriate individual. He or She will be selected. 3. Click on OK. The Index of Individuals dialog box will close. 4. Click on the Parents of tab for the spouse of the selected individual. The Family Page will display the new family. NOTE You must remove the spouse from any parent so that you get only the lineage that you want. If you do not unlink the spouse from his or her parents you in effect get the entire database when you create the GEDCOM file. 5. Click on the spouse as a child. The child will be highlighted. 6. Click on People. The People menu will appear. 7. Move the mouse pointer to Fix Relationship Mistakes. The Fix Relationship Mistakes menu will appear. 8. Click on Detach Child. The child will be detached from his or her parents. NOTE If you have your FTM Book refer to Chapter 12, "Fixing Relationships and Duplicates." In this case, you are temporarily detaching the child. You do not want to detach siblings. 9. Use the index of Individuals to relocate the individual selected in step 2. 10. Click on the All-in-One Tree button on the tool bar. The All-in-One Tree will open. 11. Click on the Options button on the formatting tool bar along the right side of the screen. The Options for All-in-One Tree dialog box will open. NOTE While this example is using the All-in-One Tree to isolate the desired individuals, you also can create a list of individuals using the Custom Report. For detailed information on searching for individuals to include in the Custom Report, See Chapter 22, "Working with the Custom Report." 12. Click on the Show unconnected step-family tree check box. The option will be selected. 13. Click on OK. The Option for All-in-One Tree dialog box will close. 14. Click on File. The File menu will appear. 15. Click on Copy/Export Individuals in Tree. The Copy/Export Individuals in All-in-One Tree dialog box will open. NOTE At this point, you can select the GEDCOM option from the Save as type drop-down menu and name the file, as you did earlier in the "Sharing Your Coplete Family File" section. I hope that this will help till we find out when we will have the class! I just got back from Vacation and I have many a E-mail to get too! So let me know if this helps! John
