Personally, I would use Legacy export rather than GEDCOM. You could then open the exported db & delete the parts he doesn't want... maybe using LTools? Well, I would at least look into doing that. I guess it depends on how much effort you've put into things that get lost in a GEDCOM, like sourcewriter citations. --P

Ann, Normally you'd use the Legacy Export to export a selection of people to a new file, but that export includes all data in the file. You'll need to do a gedcom export. In the Gedcom Export window, click on Customize and in the "Groups of items to EXCLUDE from Export" section, select the items you don't want to include. On the main Gedcom Export window, click on Record Selection to select the Focus Group. The only drawback is that sources will be imported in the Basic format, but all the source data should be there.
