Re: [LegacyUG] gedcom from Legacy to ancestry
Hi Brian Yes, you are correct. I was assuming that the entries in the focus group were individually selectable rather than a collection of multiple selections. On that basis, I would add item 4a as follows. 4a. Within the Focus Group, remove all of the current entries.

If there are multiple lines in a focus group all the people selected by all the lines will be included in the group. It works this way so you can assemble a focus group from many different criteria such as including the descendants of more than one person. That may explain your problem you mention later with too many people included in your focus groups. After sending my earlier response I tested the export of a GEDCOM using a focus group. In my file of 6503 people and 2182 families when I exported the descendants of my 3rd Great Grandfather only 1768 people and 615 families were exported. Using my maternal Grandfather as the starting person only 353 people and 135 families were exported. When the focus group had both my 3rd great grandfather and my grandfather the export included 2004 individuals and 704 families. That confirms, to me anyway, that the focus group does work correctly.

It works this way so you can assemble a focus group from many different criteria such as including the descendants of more than one person. That may explain your problem you mention later with too many people included in your focus groups. You should always clear any existing focus group before adding or building a new group of people for including in a report, GEDCOM export etc. Legacy does allow you to save up to 9 focus groups so if you frequently need a group based on the same set of criteria you can use the save button on the focus group screen to save the set of criteria for reuse.
