I've learned a bit about exporting my tree as a GEDCOM file. Is it possible to create a GEDCOM file of just part of my tree? I have Swedish relations, and wanted to send the relevant part of the tree to them, so they could correct and augment it.

If you mean from your online GR tree - no. It is all or nothing. But if you have a GEDCOM file held in any half-decent genealogy software, then it is a doddle. I am most familiar with Personal Ancestral File (from LDS - a free download), and it has built in filters (and you can create custome ones if you need to) that will deal with most circumstances.

Are you using Family Tree Maker? There is a thread on this board called Splitting & Merging Files using Family Tree Maker by Ron O'Neill. If you put Splitting into the search box then you can find it. Maureen

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

A few months ago someone talked me through splitting PAF. If you put PAF into the search box it might still be there. I will have a look and see if I can nudge it for you. Regards Jeanie A.
