I am doing both my husbands and my own families and I have a database of
names totaling: 1800+individuals and 500+ families. I would like to split it so my husbands family tree is separated from mine w/o having to type it all again. I have no clue as to how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

You will need to filter things one way or the other. e.g.
1. set up a filter for your husband and his ancestors; 2. export that to a gramps xml database; 3. create a new database and import the results of step 2 into it. In practice it's usually not that simple, depending on how many family lines you have. The approach above would not include your husbands cousins, for example, since they are not in his ancestral tree. You'll need to play around with filters until you get what you want.

Brenda,
Like Gerald said you can do it with filters but you have to adapt them to your own needs. I've done this a few times now and the set of filters I use is. Filter (1) Spouse Filter (2) Relatives of filter (1) Filter (3) Spouses of filter (2) Filter (4) Parents and siblings of (3) Filter (5) All people matching Filters (1), (2), (3) or (4) When you do the export there is an option to not export unreferenced notes; you'll almost certainly need to check that. When you've worked out how to do it you can then offer a service splitting family trees for friends who use FTM or TMG - neither of which can do this.

TY As mentioned on the user list today and yesterday, gramps can filter out results on export with the help of filters. Note however that GRAMPS at the moment does _not_ support import and merge, so if you split, merging it again will not be simple (if only a couple of people overlap then no problem to merge and clean up afterward though) Do keep frequent backups as .gramps xml files, in case you export with a filter and discover later that you filtered too much people out.

TY Hi Brenda as others have explained, you can split your database. However, I would recommend you think about why you want to do this. I run one database for all my research, covering both my wife and my ancestors (about 3000 people). This means it is easy to make ancestor or pedigree charts for my children, which you can't do with split databases, unless you duplicate some data. Also, we discovered that a great uncle of mine married a fourth cousin of my wife, which might not have been so easily found if they were in different databases. Similarly, we have found some other distant but interesting links. By all means, run separate databases if you wish. I'm just pointing out that there are some advantages in running a single database. As Benny has pointed out, merging separate databases is not easy. best regards Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
