Thanks John,
I learned some new tricks with Legacy by following your suggestion.
This may make it a bit easier to do what I had done .. still a bit
difficult with any size line (I have 12000+ in my Legacy database and
some long lines).
I think this is a wish-list item. Given that the heart of what I am
asking for is there, i.e box-chart "Lineage" report, it seems it could
be added somewhat easily to allow for other reports (narrative, etc),
and to have GED export of the selected folks. Alternatively, some
tuning or an additional selection box for the "Focus Group" selection
would do to provide the desired functions.
Regards,

I apologize to the group for not trimming my last post.
Kirk,
Try this:
1. Select the earliest individual.
2. Open the "Descendants" tab.
3. Select "Options" from right hand side.
4. Select "Cutomize Columns."
5. Choose to display a column for (for example) "Tag 1".
6. Now, rather than UNTAG the people you don't want, go down the
list and TAG all the people you want to keep. This should be easier
than untagging, depending on how big this line is.
7. Export all Tag 1 individuals to a new Legacy file.
Not very direct, but it should do what you want.
Good luck,

Hi John,
Thank you for the response. I actually tried to do this .. I found
(unless I am doing it wrong) that using this tagging method with the
lineage focus group, included more than the line (at least when
including spouse/children) .. i.e. it included the spouses
descendants beyond the immediate line of interest. So this left
me with much more than I wanted. And it took way too much manual
"untagging" to make this practical for any but simple cases.
It could still be a matter that I am not aware of something here,
but I found with quite a bit of trying that I could not do what I
described.
Thanks,
