Remove birthdays, Sensitive information on Export

Post by jffeudo86 »

I wanted to create a gedcom file without sensitive information, specifically birthday. I don't see any checkbox for excluding birthdays. How do I do that?

There are a few ways to do this, the simplest is to first Export the data you want to share to a new file and open it Family Historian

You can now use several tools to remove the data you don't want to share. If you are mainly talking about living people you can use the"Clean Living Persons" plugin to remove lots of different data for recent people.

Another option is to use the Fact Query and select all the Birth facts on the result set and press the delete key.
