You shouldn't need a cloned file. Just mark the people in the old file that you want in the new file, then use the menus: File -> Export -> Reunion Family File

Re: Merge to New File

I don't think that is exactly what I wanted as I exported it choosing what I thought I needed and it went somewhere (in text form?) and don't know where. I wanted a duplicate of the marked persons including everything in their card and don't understand all the choices to mark for export.

My instructions will result in a duplicate of the marked persons including everything in their cards.

You shouldn't need a cloned file. Just mark the people in the old file that you want in the new file, then use the menus: File -> Export -> Reunion Family File…

In the window that opens, pick "Marked people (#)", and your choices for which sources and multimedia you want included, and click "Export…"

You should now have the old file (unchanged) and the new file.

I suppose there may be some settings that aren't carried to the new file, but it seems to me that most are. If there aren't, you can import the new family file into your cloned file, but I don't think it's needed.

In Reunion 8 - Menu: File reads Import/Export >Import/Export reads Export GEDOM or Export TEXT. No mention Reunion Famile File... so that leads me back to square one. How to take 33 members from one family and start new family card.

I should of included I was on Reunion 8 but since I was on the old reunion talk file just went blindly ahead. The problem was solved with $49.95 and works just fine and so easy. Thanks

I should have kept track of what forum I was reading

Enjoy Reunion 10
