Good Morning List: I use Family Tree Maker. I just finished updating my records and want to load it to my existing database which should not be a problem. I have a number of entries in my data that are "just names" no dates as none were provided/available. I know I can use a "cut off date" when I load the info so people born after 1930 for example would appear as "Living Surname". Is there any way you can load info so the names of people with "no dates" do not appear as well. After adding several hundred names I was told that the contributor did not want the names on the database... that the info was for my "personal use" only. Thanks!!

you can privatize in the FTM file menu before exporting I just add a fictional "about" date after 1930 if I want to exclude an entry if a marriage date is known then I assume it happened in the 11 years from 20 to 30 years of age so a wedding in 1965 I would guess at a birth " between 1934 - 1945" and the 11 year span makes them easy to spot when better data turns up Hugh W On 3/22/07, Heather Waddingham <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Morning List: > > I use Family Tree Maker.
