This is great. Thanks Jerry. I think I will set up a group because I will be researching this group intensely in the next few months. Am I correct that all of the reports are available for the groups? I can see where a custom report will work also. Next question - I have been entering information from marriage records. There are several pieces of information on one record. Is there a way to site the previous source or is it necessary to enter the marriage vol. and pg. number each time. I have used TMG for many years; I continue to touch F3 that will give you the last 15 items for that field. Is there such a repeat button in RM? Still using TMG for my own genealogy. I was not able to import a FTM2014 database into TMG, but it imported into RM perfectly. -----Original Message----- From: rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jerry Bryan via Sent: Friday, April 01, 2016 9:33 PM To: rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RMagic] Reports Lists You can do it with a Custom Report.

Thanks so much Margaret...You were right...apparently when I moved everything over from TMG, the vast majority came over as dead, even the living. I have spent the last 2 days going thru 18000 people and marking living for the living and anyone I don't want to publish...ended up with 413. Made a group of "dead" and created a gedcom which was all dead people...now to get it up to WorldConnect -- there is definitely a learning curve!

On the screen on the right under privacy options, choose privatize living people, choose “living” for it to print and choose “do not print facts”. That will then show “Living” for all those not dead if they were not marked as “living” in your database. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

I too am trying to export a gedcom of only the dead people. When I choose dead people after clicking on "select from list" the program selects everyone in the database.

Your experience of exporting names from RootsMagic has been my experience. I believe RootsMagic has a design flaw in its software. Try creating a GROUP with the names of those you are trying to extract. Then try and extract the GROUP. I have had some success with this approach. Joseph W.

Good Morning, My husband has a new computer that has his family genealogy info download from RootsMagic 7. He has his registration number but I can't remember how to obtain RootsMagic 7 so I can download it to his new computer without paying for it again. Thanks for your help. Yvonne

Pat - in my experience both will show up unless you do a "straight line" pedigree of only one lineage. Both will have a common descendant (you?) so one will show on your father's line and one on your mother's line (or wherever placed in your full lineage. Have you tried making a full pedigree chart yet?

Correct in that it isn't the mtDNA line, that's another one! Acadians seem to be like balls of yarn that get tangled every so often (or frequently). I'm just not sure WHICH couple to 'show' on my pedigree view or which will 'get selected' by the software (RM) when I ask for a pedigree chart or a report. Have lots of cases where there are multiple kids of the same couple who my line follows, but had not come across one yet where the father had a direct line ancestor with each of the wives! Puzzles never end!

I assume you are wanting to place your gedcom online and are trying to read some sites privacy policy. But the same applies if you want to send it to an individual. Within Rootsmagic, Click on "gedcom export". That brings up a screen to chose all the options including those in the right column to privatize various notes, etc. If you want to have only dead people in your gedcom that you will be making, don't choose the top choice which means to export everybody "everyone" and instead choose "select from list". The previous choice will take you to another screen, where you can choose to export only dead people. That is what I do when I want to put a gedcom file online. Once you have made your gedcom and want to place it online someplace, like MyHeritage, Ancestry, etc. you would follow their instructions and read their policies about what is shared. However, if you don't include living people in the first place, you won't have to worry about any living people for the public to see no matter what the other company's privacy policy. Margaret Scheffler -----Original Message----- From: Emery St Cyr via Subject: [RMagic] confused on gedcom I have uploaded a gedcom to export and didn't get a box to check private or public. And I didn't get to read the agreement before I have to check that I agree with it. What did I do wrong? Em
