You will probably need to create a separate family file in order to keep from sending info all all the people in your file. You can simply save your FTM file with another name and then delete the "extra" people from the new file. If there is other way to separate various groups, I'd be interested in knowing. Then to create a gedcom: In the "File" menu there is an option to "Export"; you will then select gedcom as your file type; it should pretty lead you through the rest of the procedure. ~Suz In a message dated 8/29/2001 5:54:05 PM Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: << Does anyone on the list know how to send a GEDcom through FTM? All of my material (which is probably a terrible mistake) is together in one FTM program. Each family relates to another but I would like to send a person just ONE of my direct lines, such as my White line only instead of sending every single thing I have on the computer. I would appreciate any help anyone can send to me about this. Thanks so much, Dottie I have only sent a GEDcom once several years ago and have totally forgot how to do it.>>
