Following on from another thread about family tree printing where I mentioned splitting family tree files so that only certain people are exported to a new gedcom or a new Family Tree Maker file, we have received quite a few telephone calls and private e-mails asking about splitting or merging gedcom or Family Tree Maker files. Due to the amount of interest in this subject I have created a website which is a tutorial telling you step by step how to export or merge only certain people from your Family Tree Maker file into a separate gedcom or Family Tree Maker file. The instructions on the website are for using Family Tree Maker as this is the most widely used program. I'm sure that some members will find it useful. This website can be seen at this URL, you will need to remove remove the brackets from around the dot after the word tinyurl. - http://tinyurl(.)com/a5t8v - Regards - Ron - www.genealogyprinters(.)com

Ron That is really kind, thank you for doing that. Spooky really though - I was just wanting to send a small part of my tree to my inlaws and had no idea how to do it! Thanks again Mandy :)
