Using TMG to GEDCOM 1.07 ...

In choosing people to include in the GEDCOM file, one of the Person
Filters described in the documentation is "Cousin within Generations."
But this doesn't appear in the pull-down list when I'm creating a Person
Filter. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not actually available?

Charlie,

I will investigate. “Cousin within Generations” is a valid filter term in my modern programs (GedSite, Gedcom Publisher, T2G), but the most recent T2G release was a year ago and I may have updated the docs without actually making sure the term was enabled in the current application.

I am planning a release of T2G, v2.0, which will include some minor new features and all the changes made to the infrastructure that is shared with GedSite and Gedcom Publisher. When that happens, “Cousin within Generations” will certainly be included. It’s a very useful filter, especially if you want to provide some context for people who are not in your main line of research but where you have some evidence you gathered on a whim or as part of tracking down some elusive person.

Great, thanks. I don't think this is too big a deal for me, though. I
already have a TMG Flag that's used to determine who's included in my
online web site generated with Second Site, and from the T2G
documentation it looks like I can use that, along with some additional
criteria, to choose who's included in the GEDCOM file.
