How to delete ancestors older than a certain generation or age
Posted: 28 Jun 2020 19:24
FH v 6.2.7
I've imported a GEDCOM file to FH from Ancestry and all looks good.
I want to upload an abbreviated version of my 10000 record file for DNA purposes to the other DNA sites I belong to.
I want the new file to include only those people back to my G4 grandparents and their families (6 generations including me) as well as all the relative descendants
I want it to include just BMD data and
I want it to include all the descendants that I currently have in the file
I did search the forums but after an hour couldn't find what I wanted
I tried the Split file facility and it ended up deleting all info except BMD(which I wanted) but it also ended up deleting all the descendants(which I didn't want). Plus I still have all the generations beyond 6 in the file.
I tried just closing the branches I didn't want and while the file looked good on FH it still contained all the files I couldn't see
My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere but after an hour of searching I decided to post here
