I have to agree with you, Carl. It's very easy to extract a particular branch of your family tree when you know your options. :-) My personal favourite is to save a copy of my family file, unlink the people I don't want to include from the people I do want (unlink the unwanted parents from the wanted child, and the whole rest of the family group is taken care of, for example). Then use the Tree Finder to identify all the trees in your (copy) file, tag the unwanted branches and delete them. Now you're left with the one tree that contains the people you do want, ready to continue with whatever the purpose of your exercise is. I don't think I've been particularly eloquent here today, but I've described it in more (better?) detail before, so check the archives if you want to know more. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
