Exporting Data

From SharedTree Wiki

Exporting data is the process you use to extract data from your family tree into an industry-standard GEDCOM format.

Why you need to export

SharedTree is the ultimate destination for accurately compiled genealogical data. However, there are still several reasons that you may consider exporting data. Included are:

• creating a personal backup file
• sending data to TempleReady
• creating charts in an external program
• using an offline application such as PAF

How to export data

1. Choose one of your ancestors
2. Click on Export from the top menu
3. Choose the options
   1. Ancestors: the number of generations back (up) to export
   2. Export siblings: should you include your ancestors siblings
   3. Descendents: the number of generations forward (down) to export
4. Click Download and save the file to your computer

Currently the export file is a GEDCOM 5.5 UNICODE format. Other formats may become available in the future.
