Help for Exporting the Descendants GEDCOM

The Descendants GEDCOM includes all the descendants of the target individual plus the spouses, in GEDCOM format. It is written to a file that can be downloaded and imported into most desktop genealogy programs.

The time required for this process can be very long, typically tripling for each added population that is significantly populated. Therefore, a generation limit is presented.

One example of a 10-generation GEDCOM for an individual born before 1640 required about 30 minutes. There is no way to terminate the process before completion.
