Hello everyone, I saw Kate's query about ged.com files and thought I would pass this on to you just for your general information. When I started with FTM, I included everyone in one program. There were times I wanted to break my files apart but I couldn't accomplish it with one file. I called FTM and they walked me through the steps of making a custom file. If I want to make a file of just my family as an example: Under View, select Report Then select Format, Report Format, Custom Report Next go to Contents and select -- Individuals to include in this report, Selected Individuals, Individuals to include. I selected myself and then clicked on Ancestors and Descendants. This gave me a report of my entire direct line. Next and the hardest part: In order to pick up all the siblings, I had to go to my oldest ancestors in each of my lines and select descendants. Depending on the size of your file and your memory, this can take some time. After you have selected all the individuals in the report, you go to File and select Copy Export Individual in Report and proceed like any other Ged.com file. One last thing, be sure and check contents Items to Include in Report. I just move everything from the left column to the right column but it can be customized for any amount of information. Hope this helps. I struggled with this for over a month. Linda Gatewood
