In
older versions of FTM (4.0 for
example) you were able to select
the information you wanted
included from your file into the
GEDCOM you were creating. In the
newer versions you can no longer
select the fields you want
included in the GEDCOM, but you
can select to temporarily "hide"
information on living
individuals. I personally feel
that to include dates, addresses,
phone numbers, employment, etc,
of living individuals is an
invasion of their privacy and do
not want to pass this along in
GEDCOMs that I am creating. To
privatize this
information:
While
in your FTM file:
- 1)
Click
on File
- 2)
Click
on Preferences
- 3)
Click
on Privatize
- 4)
Check
the Privatize Information
Box
- 5)
Click
OK
- 6)
When
the process of privatizing the
information is complete, the
background of your FTM screen
will be green instead of
yellow
- 7)
Now
you can create your GEDCOM
file and any personal
information will not be
included
- 8)
When
you exit FTM this temporary
privatized file is disappear
and your file will be back to
"normal"
If
anyone has any suggestions for
something they would like
explained in this spot, please
let me know and if I have the
answer to your query I'll be more
than happy to address
it.
