Hi, I have the same problem I do have 4 different files and just finished putting them all together into one. I still have my four different branches but problem I am having with the one file is when I tagged for a certain branch I get the descendants but not the children If it means tagging everyone then that is a lot of work. Am I doing something wrong. I am still wondering what is the best way for me to go with four or just the one. Glenna

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!
