I exported a gedcom file so that I could upload it to Family Tree DNA. But only alternate names are being downloaded to the gedcom file. Therefore if someone looks at my gedcom, nicknames are all that are showing for any name I entered an alternate name for, not the name I entered into the main body of the record. Several of my records have people who have a legal name but are called something else. I have recorded those extra names or spellings in the alternate name location. But that is what the gedcom is exporting, not the name in the main record.

You haven't made it clear what you are trying to do, but if you mean you want to create a Master Source and then create another one with much of the same information, then all you need do is create the first one, then edit it and save it as a NEW Source. What I do, to avoid accidents, is create the first source and save it. Then click on Edit, type in a new Source List Name and then immediately click Save, selecting "Apply the changes to a new copy", then I click Edit for the new Source and make all the further changes I need to. Saving after just changing the Source List Name means that if by any chance I click the wrong button and apply the changes to the original Source then I have only "mucked up" the Name and not the whole Source. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
