Hi All,
I want to create a bare bones GEDCOM file to export. Around Jun 30 or July 1,
2011, Wendy Howard was kind enough to post a 2 person plain text file as an
example. She noted that I could preview my file on Notepad. That was exactly my
wish.
I have been unable to duplicate her example.

Among my first problems were the inclusion of non-tagged persons in my file.
One of my tagged persons was married twice and I only wanted that individual's
first marriage partner listed. But I was getting information on the second
spouse also. Then I tried selecting each individual one at a time and not using
a tagged list. Still unwelcome files created.
Also unclear to me is how to get the bare bones I want, meaning name, sex,
birth, death, and marriage. On the customize view, I've tried selecting Only
5.5, basic, and generic. What exactly is only 5.5? I've tried highlighting
the categories I want on either side of the include button, but it appears the
categories like only 5.5, etc. had defaulted options, so I'm not sure what I am
supposed to be including or removing.
Can someone walk me though the process of getting Wendy Howard's result?
Thanks, Margaret
