Thank you for your all of your input. I don't work on my husband's side too much......so there isn't all that much information. What gets confusing is the fact that our last name is Johnson..........and my mom's Maiden name is Johnson. So she went from Johnson to Jacobs and I went from Jacobs to Johnson. So it was just getting congested with all the Johnsons that weren't related.........that is why I decided to just get his information out on its own :) I do appreciate you emailing though!! Robin

Separating the lines means that you have two databases to maintain and back up, separate location lists, separate settings, separate master source lists, two gedcoms if you should ever want to post online, and heaven help you when you eventually find that you and your husband share a common ancestor (which is not terribly unusual). There are many posts on this subject in the archives and I believe the concensus is strongly in favor of keeping one database instead of separating them.

I was told by a family member when I started that I should try and separate the different families.. Keep my family in one file, and my husband's in another. I didn't listen, but I want to do it now. How do I go about taking my husband's side of the family OUT of my main tree? I hope that makes sense.
