Are you specifying the root person?

timeline.pl -gedcom Test.ged -root "Samuel Washington"

or

ged2xml.pl --gedcom Test.ged --root "Samuel Washington"

Or is the problem that specifying the root person works generally but  
not for this specific individual?  Please note that the default root  
person is "Johann Sebastian Bach"!  That's why I think it would be  
nice to be able to override this in a configuration file, such as  
~/.timelinerc or whatever, where you could also specify your default  
GEDCOM file.

My solution for this has been to find and delete the EMAIL line in the  
GEDCOM file.

Thanks for testing!
