    1. [TMG] People in Focus Group
    2. Richard Hayes via
    3. Hello All, I would like to export all of the people in one family. The Export Wizard has 2 methods for doing this. One way is to use Project Explorer, the other is to use a Focus Group. I have a list of the IDs I want to export, but I can not see exactly how to make a list of them. How do I choose the ID numbers? If I want to use the other method how do you build the Focus Group. When I looked at this method it only gave me a space for 8 ID Numbers. I have 17 numbers. Will someone explain these options so that I can understand them. Richard

With only 17 people involved you could probably just add them all manually. But assuming they are all related closely you could use the "Add Others" feature to add a key person, then add the others in a step or two. For example, add the parent, then add Descendants for one or two generations. For more details see my article on People Filters, at http://tmg.reigelridge.com/Filters.htm#fg Terry Reigel

    3. Hi Terry, Thank you for all of the information. I was able to create a from persons in my TMG file a couple of months ago, but I could not remember how I did it. The information you sent will be a big help. Richard
