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.

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.

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.

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.
