I thought the Tiny URL might be broke but I've checked it and it works okay, did you remove the brackets, here's the full website address (remove star and replace with a dot). http://www.genealogyprinters*com/clients/splitting_a_family_file.htm Ron www*genealogyprinters*com

Thanks for that Ron, have got it in my Fav;; now, but Heather very kindly copy and pasted it to me earlier as well;; So a very big thank you to you both, just need time to study it now and see if I can do what I want to , without senior moments;;hehe Babs

Don't forget to work on a copy of your file, export the whole file and give it a new name, that way your old file will remain intact and if you mess up you can just delete the copy file your working on and start over again with another copy. Carol www.genealogyprinters*com

Hi Ron, Found this thread when I searched before I asked the question, I have tried to access it from both the web addresses you give First one said file out of date and second one gave a 500 error, Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have just found some relatives in Australia and would love to send them some of my Tree. Many Thanks Sue

I knew there would possibly be a failure of the tiny url web address but the second one is hosted on our own server so that's never going to go out of date. Here's the web address again. www.genealogyprinters*com/clients/splitting_a_family_file.htm Cut and paste it into your web browser then remove the star after the word genealogyprinters and replace it with a dot.

Hi Carol. Thanks for the reply, I will give it another try. Sue Hi Carol, I have got in, this time, probably my computer playing up the first time. Many thanks for your help Sue

I must say just printed of your instructions and its very easy to read and I hope when I try it tomorrow easy to do, very nice of you Ron thanks

Hi Val They are very easy to follow and my Aussie Family say they can open them on a differnet file so they don't interfere with there tree. Sue

Hiya Ron and Carol;;; Thanks for that the instructions are so easy to follow;; I have now done 4 separate trees on Ged;;; Babs

Nudge the thread for the whole set of instructions and website Ron www.genealogyprinters*com

Nudge for surfin smurf

Thanks for this, just what I wanted. Suex

Thank you ... :-) Before I look at the website - would it apply to the Ultimate Family Tree program, too ? Thanks. Joy

Thank you very much Ron. I'm just about to embark on FTM and have now put your webpage in my favourites as I know I'm going to need it. All the best Donna

Hi Joy. It will work with any program but only if that program has the ability to export only those people shown in the tree not the whole file, like FTM. Carol www.genealogyprinters*com
