Jim,
I now understand your original question and yes, i can also see what you
intend doing. It will as you say mean adding all the descendants to each of
the four trees to have a complete tree for each of your grandparents,
including, of course, adding to each yourself and your parents.
So in a nut shell that would work. However, to come to your question as to
whether four will be enough I cannot really answer, the reason being that I
cannot understand why you would wish to arrange your files in this manner in
the first place.
If all the files were together then Legacy's tagging capability allows one
to tag each of the four lines separately anyhow, so it is possible to print
separate reports, web pages etc. without physically separating each of the
trees. Hence my problem!

Ron and Jan
Thanks for your responses. As a very new dabbler in genealogy and even
newer w/ Legacy, I have decided to do it an easier way. My data base
currently contains 166 names (very puny, I know). I have it in a single
file named JAMES. I am wanting to start different files as I add more
entries. I assumed it would be adequate to just make 4, using my
grandparents' names. To do this, I just saved the entire list (from JAMES)
into these 4 (A, B, C, D), and deleted unwanted names. (Not very smart, but
at my level I could do it.) At some point I will need to attack my
original question, but at present I have other matters to consider.
If you don't mind, I would like to get some thoughts from you, and/or
anyone else who would care to comment:
- As I don't really expect to make this a life's work, are 4 files
enough?
- I used the respective GP in each file as the starting point, and then
chased the path up that line. Going in the other direction I plan to
include all descendants, which would be duplicative for all files. I
envisioned that as necessary so that there would be a true accounting of
descendants. Does that make sense?
As you can see, I am really stepping in over my head, but I think I can
"dog-paddle" through it. However, I would prefer to not make any more
mistakes than I have to. Thanking all who care to comment in advance.
