Hi I Had the same problem: You need t oo to Customise on bottom right of the window.
There are more options there. Also look at options in the top right. I also use a programme called gen viewer which allows you to see what will be exported. Regards.

A question: How do you prevent the notes from being exported? I’ve done as Cathy suggested Customize-> Export items-> Export these items and removed NOTE and MNOTE without success, all notes are still exåported So now I use "brute force" with Notepad++-, I’ve created a macro that removes all lines starting with a digit,followed by a space and then NOTE, CONT or CONC . Search for ^\d\s\b(NOTE|CONT|CONC)\b.*\R Repalace with nothing it works and my gedcom shrinks from 578529 to 491189 lines /Rune 2018-06-13 4:33 GMT+02:00 Cathy Pinner <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> >: You don't use privacy to strip out notes etc from a gedcom, you use the Gedcom customise options. They control which gedcom tags are exported. See the Customise button on the right. This includes an exclude option for address/phone and Notes of various kinds. I don't know whether that is just mailing addresses or event addresses. It's true that Ancestry etc will privatise the living for you but you can choose not to include the living in your gedcom using the options in the Privacy section in the Gedcom export. I think this is a better option. When exporting for Ancestry I generally just include the vital events with their sources. You can do this by using Basic and then adding the tags SOUR and PAGE. I also go to the second tab headed Other Options on the main export screen and uncheck to override source options as I don't want to include my source detail text OR sources that I have chosen not to include in reports. If you don't have a gedcom viewer program and find the gedcom difficult to understand when opened in Notepad (as it's a plain text file), you can import your gedcom to a new Legacy file to see what you are actually exporting. Cathy [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, 13 June 2018 10:02 AM Hi I would like to upload my FT to Ancestry and other websites as a Gedcom file. I am reasonably certain I have stripped the records of any notes or sources by using the privacy tools on legacy. However I note that the addresses entered in the birth, death and burial records are still showing I would like to know if these addresses will stripped or removed when the file is uploaded. I know that dates of persons still living are stripped and names marked as private. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ --
