It's been a while since I've used GenoPro, and I've been asked to upload a portion of my GED file to a database somewhere.

My goal is to pick a root individual in one of my family lines and create a GED containing only him and all spouses/children branches (omitting parents/siblings of said spouses).

Looking at GenoPro, it's not immediately obvious how I would go about doing this. I'm familiar with an older tool called GEDSplit, but that seems antiquated and I'm unable to locate its help file online today.

Is there a better and/or more current tool available anywhere? Would love to see some good recommendations here.

TIY!

I do this often.

Select the individual.

Use the Tool Bar icons.
For a Descendant Tree:-
Select Direct Descendants
Select Mate

For an Ancestral Tree
Select Direct Ancestors
Select Siblings (if required)
Select Mate (if sibling spouses required)

When selection complete Copy then click on File>New and Paste.
Check the result - Copy, Paste and Link any parts left out.

If you like Save the new genomap (or is that genogram?) under a new name.
Then Tools>Generate Report and select Export to Gedcom in the Skin Name drop down box.
Complete the required boxes and Generate the GEDCOM file.

If you have not used it recently you may have forgotten that the best way to generate a Gedcom is through the Report Writer - first GED option on the File/Export menu (choose gedcom skin)
