With PAF: File - Export - Partial - Select (choose the person you want the tree to start with) - Descendants.

When you've done your chart, instead of File - Export Descendant Tree you should have an option File - Export File - Copy/Export Individuals in Descendant Tree which allows you to save as a gedcom.

You can get the full FTM2006 very cheaply now - try TWR computing - they send abroad.

Oh no! Yes, it was the $9.99 version.

That's probably because you have the Starter Edition of FTM Mick, not the full version.

With FTM you could produce a descendant chart or all-in-one chart, specifying 10 generations, and then export it as a gedcom.

6 months ago I put my entire tree on GR.
I have a lot of Medieval genealogy on it.
Since then I only get HotMatches for these
medieval people - not very useful!

Does anyone know whether with PAF
or FTM 2006 you can produce a GEDCOM
going a limited numbers of generations back?
ie - no more than 10?
