Alan or anyone, If I go to export, pick my name do I select "Ancestors" or "All Related" I don't want to miss anyone in my family. I only go back 10-11 generations but it is difficult to know who is my family and who is his family when I get past the 6th generation. Thank you.

While I haven't done this for surnames, I have done it to break up my file into my father's side and my mother's side of the family. | | Alan | | > From: "Bette" <nobia@centurytel.net> | > Date: 2005/07/05 Tue AM 11:06:50 EDT | > To: PAF-5-USERS-L@rootsweb.com | > Subject: [PAF-5] Dividing my PAF File | > | > Good Morning, | > | > I would like to divide my PAF into two surname files.
