Virginia, I see how to set up a new file. What i don't understand is how to create a gedcom file of that individual to merge with the new file. There is too much info to re-enter it all.........Don

Hi Don, What I did was go in and open a 'New' file. I entered the names of a husband and wife from my huge file. Then select 'Append, Merge" from the 'File' window This will bring up a window with all the names in the file you are trying to condense. One window is labeled 'Available Individuals", the other will be blank. Type in the name of a person, say husband or wife, you want to move into the new file, in the middle area, between the two windows are 8 buttons, they are labeled >, >>. Ancestors >, Descendents >, Find >, <, <<, and finally Find<. Ancestors or Descendents depending or which way you are going with the individual you chose, and click on that button. It will move selected individuals to the previously clear window, labeling at the top "you have selected these individuals and then another line will tell you how many you have moved into that window. Go back to the 'Available Individuals" window and type in the name of the husband or wife remaining and repeat the procedure. This will give you 'XX' number of names in the "included window, depending on how much history you have on those two individuals. Click okay. You may get a message that 'no matching individuals are available to merge, or something of that nature, don't panic, just hit okay again. This will bring up another window, with several options, you can select one, or just hit 'continue' The next window will give you the chose to 'force a merge', 'Delete. individuals', just click on 'continue' again. This will complete the transfer of your new file. You may have some clean up some individuals and make a couple of individual merges, but this will get you there. If. you add the names of the parents of the couple you have chosen, when you append, they may merge without you having to 'clean up'. Good luck.

Don, If you will look under file in FTM it gives you the option to create a new family file. You could set up a family file for this individual and once you have all of your data merged you can go to that individual in your current file and tell the computer to delete this individual and it will ask you if you want to delete this individual and all attached people. Hope this helps.
