I was wondering if anyone knows and can help me in "how to" download gedcom records to my computer.
Whenever I'm in a Nuestros Ranchos gedcom records film file, on the upper right hand side of the page it says: "prepare selected records for download". I've been able to "prepare" them and when I click on download, it goes through the motion of download BUT it never does. The download never shows up on my computer. I have Windows 7. I've tried to "create" a file for the gedcoms but that doesn't work either.
A few years ago, when I had Windows XP, I managed to download some of those gedcom records in the "favorites" section but that wasn't beneficial for my intended use. Now I can't even do that anymore.
I'd like to do that so that I can study ONLY the gedcom records I'd like to. i.e. create a folder of only one surname for easy research study.
I'm kinda computer savvy but I'm not a "whiz".
Thanks for any help that anyone can give me!

does anyone know "how to" download gedcom records?
You can't download other peoples Gedcom files other than your own. That
is a safety feature to protect everyone's extensive gedcom info. Maybe
I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that is the reason why.
What I would suggest is to find the person who authored the specific
gedcom you are interested in and contacting them. I would then request
that they send you the gedcom file in which you have interest.
that might work,
joseph

He is talking about going to the Films tab then clicking on an IGI for one
of the locations. That actually takes us to the FamilySearch.org website
where we can download baptisms and marriages found there.
Joseph de Leon, I just tried it with IE and I experience the same problem.
If you click on [refine search] next to [Print] you will see a download link
that will let you download the gedcom file you prepared. Let me know if that
works for you. I didn't have to go through all of that with Firefox and
Chrome probably would have been just as easy as Firefox.
