Margaret Depending on the which other program you have chosen you might not need to use a gedcom file as many are able to do a direct import from the TMG files Regards John Hanson Researcher, The Halsted Trust Website - www.halstedresearch.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Margaret Clark via Sent: 01 November 2015 22:34 To: Virginia Blakelock; tmg@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TMG] Creating Gedcom error Could someone point me to a step by step (and hopefully very simple) directions for creating a GedCom file. I have done this in the past but it was before this version and it did not always work well. I have read the recent posts about GedComs but it is confusing to me since I really don't have a good grasp on the topic. I want to copy my TMG data to another program just as a backup but I want it to be as complete as possible. Thanks so much.
