How to export a GEDCOM file from WikiTree ?

Question

I would like to check that every field in every profile I manage, is up to date against my Gramps database (reflected as a GEDCOM file). How can I export a GEDCOM file to use as a base for the comparison?

Comments

What a great question!  One I didn't even think to ask - and now I can get a gedcom to compare against my "megafile" in Family Tree Maker.  Thanks for asking!

Answer 1

That is very easy! Go to Download GEDCOM and click the button. The file will be created during the night so you should receive a message in the morning that the file is ready to be downloaded

Thx for the quick answer, but that's too easy ! What I would like is the same functionality, but ONLY for profiles I manage. And I can't see any options around that button...

When you export a GEDCOM you only get the profiles you manage!

---

But the notice says: "Your file will include all the profiles you are trusted to access. This could include profiles that you did not create."...

---

I just checked the last export I have and the only profile where I know I am only on the trusted list (and not the manager) is not included in it.

---

OK, I've submitted a request, and I'll check too. If that's allright, I will submit a request to drop the notice or make it precise what it means.
And ReThx for the help !

I just looked at the gedcom export with notepad and the profile IS in there, it only did not show up in the application I use to view the contents (PAF) since it it not connected to the main tree (no need for the notice to dissapear ;))!
In my use I have never had any problems with it but if you are on the trusted list for a lot of profiles (of which you are also a manager) but I can imagine this is troublesome when you want to compare the files.

---

Unfortunately, the GEDCOM export is very limited in its options. I'll add just exporting managed profiles to the to-do list. Another thing that's been requested is to just export the ancestors of a certain person.

I found an easy way to keep track of a particular branch of the tree.
Just click on the descendents sign of person you want to check and print off the page.
I can keep track of individual branches alot faster that way.

Hi Stanislav,

I'm sorry about this, it's a problem with the accented character in your name and how we name the files. I've manually changed the file name for this one so you can access it: http://www.wikitree.com/gedcoms/HOSTOMSKY.ged

We need to fix this so it doesn't happen to others.

Hi, it is still impossible to export GEDCOM for my profile file http://www.wikitree.com/gedcoms/HOSTOMSK%C3%BD-1-065242.ged is not found. Can I help with it? I'm programmer with some php, C , C++, asp... experience.

---

I tryed to export GEDCOM, but it's still impossible http://www.wikitree.com/gedcoms/HOSTOMSK%C3%BD-1-771f87.ged

---

Hi Stanislav. I am very sorry. I know this must be very frustrating and annoying. I will e-mail you the URL of the edited filename and post here when the problem is fixed.

---

Stanislav, this bug should finally be fixed. You should be able to export a file now. (Our system no longer using last names in the filenames, to avoid the difficulty entirely.) I sincerely apologize for long it took to fix this minor bug. It's really unacceptable.

---

It's fixed, thank You
