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!

You can up load your entire database and then on WC you can tell what to show. My usual birth cut off is 1930. Anyone born after that time will not show. There numerous things you can tell it to do. I do not allow Gedcom downloads. That way if they want a gedcom they can ask me and then I will have some idea who is researching what. -----Original Message----- From: donna martin via Sent: Saturday, April 2, 2016 8:29 AM To: MScheffler ; rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RMagic] confused on gedcom 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.
