Ron - in the email I sent a few minutes ago, I meant to say four different ancestor reports. The goal is to create reports - the files are just a means to that end. Susan

I sort of have what I think you are thinking of in my file, but by accident! I had in my tree a Margaret Mather who married a John Anders. I subsequently found out that it wasn't my Margaret who married John but another Margaret Mather born in the same year in the same town. As I'm fairly sure that my Mathers will link up with the Anders at some stage, after swapping the Margarets, I decided to leave the Anders Tree in my file so I actually have two distinct trees within it. I haven't considered splitting my main file into sub-sets as it would cause me all sorts of problems since I compile Pedigree Web pages and the links would be destroyed. I can see possible advantages for families who have internal feuds but otherwise am not sure of any advantages. If you write saying what your objective is there may be other ways of achieving it.
