This is a clever solution when you have a manageable number of individuals you can delete. The important detail to keep in mind is that when you create a GEDCOM, only those sources, repositories, and citations associated with the individuals selected for the GEDCOM are copied into the GEDCOM. So this technique is selective and if you want the entire list of sources, you will have to select the entire database of individuals.

Richard, Or create an individual or two that use all the sources that you want. When you get to the new data base, delete the "source holders."
