Exporting GEDCOM
- To export a GEDCOM, select File > Export.
- Select the destination of the GEDCOM in the Export To section.
- Each destination has default settings for what to include in the GEDCOM (in the Include section). These can be changed.
- In the Include section you can select Notes, Sources, Multimedia links, Contact Information, Confidential data, Full information on living or Names on living, Submitter, and LDS data.
- When submitting anything to the Internet, never submit information about living people. At the most include only the names of relatives who are still alive.
- In the Selected Individuals section, select All individuals or Partial.
- If you selected Partial, click Select.
- You can use the Relationship Filter to select people to be included in the GEDCOM.
- When you have selected all the individuals that should be included in the GEDCOM, click OK.
- Select the location to save the GEDCOM. Give it a name and click Export.
- You can then use the GEDCOM to submit your genealogy to an online database, send the GEDCOM to a family member, or import the GEDCOM into a different file.
