Kirsten, I use Gedcom 5.5 with my Legacy file. (I've never used the Ancestry one.) If you click on Customize, you will be given the choice to not export different parts of the file. I usually export everything except Picture, Sound, Video so that I will have a database online to download if I ever lose all my copies of Legacy database. At Rootsweb, you can choose there to mask the first names of all persons Living, not show their info (except last name family links), and don't show sources or notes.
My Rootsweb WorldConnect data is under Cullivan01, so you can check how it comes out from Legacy and with these options. An example to look at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=cullivan01&id=I165 Maybe I will try the Ancestry option and use a focus group another day! [Note, the reason I don't use sources online is because I would rather people contact me to find out where I got my information. Some of my sources are personal contacts, and I don't wish to publicize their names and have it copied without anyone's knowledge. This is a very public database.] Susan On 1/16/06, Kirsten Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'd like to create a gedcom for posting at RootsWeb WorldConnect.
