Many thanks to Cathy, Lloyd and Susan. Creating a new Legacy file worked. There were originally 1,781 individuals in my file, of which 318 were tagged for another purpose. I am now down to 1,157 individuals. All who were tagged for that other purpose are present and accounted for, and still tagged. What a relief! Even with Legacy, where everything is so transparent and editable from just about anywhere, I cannot imagine finding and deleting over 600 non-related persons one at a time. -- Alice
