* Sending a list of people

[E Wilcock]

I have a project listing 145 people mentioned in the correspondence of my uncle who was killed aged 20 in WW1.
It holds little data, For some men I have date of birth, date of death and the odd note about regiment.

What is the best way of sending this list of names to a military researcher who knows nothing about gedcom?

I have sent him a GEDCOM and also a text report (page after page of multiple individual reports).

But what he asked me for is a list of names and I cant see any way of doing this nor of creating and saving a simple text list of the names.

You can create a query and then save the result as a CSV file and just send that to him. That will give him what he is asking for.

View > Standard Queries > All Individuals then cog Query Menu > Save Result Set As... various file formats including PDF, CSV, TXT.

It includes a few extra columns of data you may not want, but does that matter? The life Dates and Birth Place might be useful.

If you really don't want those, then create a simple custom Individual Query just listing the Names and save that as above.

Thank you both. I will now do this.
I observe that in both cases the solution involves running a query. Which did occur to me but it seemed a bit odd to concoct a query that would include everyone.
