}Doris,
When you create your gedcom (Ctrl+E), in the type of file to
produce, select Basic. Uncheck any options still selected on the
Options tab. Then check what is exported. Click the [Customise]
button (Alt+U). In the Export these Items panel should be just 11
tags that data is exported. The first 5 items with a star next to
them cannot be removed,, hoever the remaining 6 can for an extremely
cut down and minimal export.
Check the results in the free version of GenViewer before uploading
the slimmed down GEDCOM.
Kind Regards,
Mark

Kirsten,
Isn't RootsWeb now a part of Ancestry.com? I did see in Legacy the
list to add or remove items from the Gedcom 5.5 creation. As
mentioned, I want only B/M/D simple facts to show. Whenever I have
tried in the past, "by just doing", it includes items, notes,
comments, etc. that I don't want posted. I will gladly share my
research with others, but because including relatives that are still
living has proven successful to me in finding additional cousins and
family lines, I want to try my best to protect their privacy, I want
only minimal information posted by me. It is proving cumbersome to
keep adding individuals the way I am doing it now. Therefore, I was
hoping for a more efficient method.
Thanks for your input!
Doris

Doris:
If you investigate the Legacy process for creating a GEDCOM, you'll
find that under the GEDCOM 5.5 option > Customize, you're given a
list of all the GEDCOM codes and can select the items you want to
include or exclude. You must take care with your selections, though,
to avoid unintended consequences.
I post at RootsWeb rather than Ancestry.com and have found it very
easy to create and post a GEDCOM from Legacy. It's possible to make
the database private and view it to see the results. When you're
satisfied with the information included, you can then make the
database viewable. It takes a little tinkering around, but once you
have it, you can save and reuse your selection in Legacy and do
updates to the online database any time you wish.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Use of Gedcom Files
Hello all,
I would imagine that this subject has been discussed before, and it
may be a little off topic, so I have already referred to the archives
and the Legacy help files and am not satisfied with an answer, so now
I come to seek advice from experienced users as to what would be the
best, most direct way to post a tree on Ancestry.com.
Currently, I have a private member tree posted there that I keyed in
the 2,000+ individuals name by name. Ancestry doesn't allow, from what
I see, a way for me to add an updated, more recent gedcom to an
already existing tree so therefore I want to post a new tree with the
6,000+ individuals that are now in my file. What I would like to do
is post a tree that includes the individuals name, birth date,
marriage date, and death dates only. Reason I want to do this is to
minimize the information "put out there" online, but that would maybe
help to find a relative who may be searching the same family. Since
putting this tree, on ancestry I now use Legacy Family Tree. I see
that Legacy has the menu option of either FileExport to Ancestry
Online family tree or FileExport to Gedcom File. Which, in your
opinions, is the better method to use and how? My experience in the
past with Gedcom files has not been very pleasant one, so I want to
hopefully minimize the stress and utilize my family tree software to
the best of its capabilities. I appreciate your input and thank you
in advance for trying to help me.
Hesitatingly cautious,
