Hi all Is there any way of downloading your tree as a Gedcom file but omitting all living relatives. The reason being my Tree on Family Historian is a lot bigger than that on GR and I want to Upload my tree on genes but not include living relatives. Thanks in advance.

I did this by using 'Save as' to make a copy of my Family Historian file which I called Sharetree. I then deleted all the living people on that file (except me) which I found quite quick to do by first clicking the top of the birth date column so that the names were arranged in age order and all the ones I needed to delete were together. You could also use the Split Tree Helper that is in the File drop down menu to delete all those who don't have a death date but this would only work of course if you have 'killed off' all your ancestors - some of mine appear to be still alive aged 200 or more, I must do something about that :-)

I'm not too sure about this because I'm a new Family Historian user. I THINK you can do a 'query' and make a list from that - perhaps you can ask for a list of all dead rellies? Haven't got that far myself though! Anne
