Ah! Advanced Tagging – right click on the tag boxes in Family View will enable you to tag all your father’s ancestors, but siblings you will have to tag separately and all branches/twigs. Or you could go to the oldest gg-grandparents (all if them if required) and tag their descendants and any 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc uncles/aunts and their descendants.
So without a lot of messing the answer is not within Legacy.

Cousins on my father's side and on my mother's side. It seems that it might be easier to do charts, etc. with them separated. Is there a way to tag a the records without going into each person? For instance is there a "global" tag for everyone in the my father's tree, siblings, aunts, uncles, etc. __________________________________ Sent from eM Client | www.emclient.com/get ------ Original Message ------ From: "Ron Ferguson" <ronfergy....@tiscali.co.uk> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com Sent: 8/27/2011 7:49:02 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Separating Family branches If I understand you correctly, unlink you mother from your father, use Advance tagging to tag all your father’s ancestors, then export the tagged individuals to a new Legacy file. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergy.co.uk/ From: R&C Sentz Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2011 12:42 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Separating Family branches It appears that my e-mail did not go through, so I am resending this message. I apologize if you received the first. I want to separate out some of my family tree branches. Right now my name is the beginning of my genealogy file. I want to have my Father's side separate from my Mother's side. What is the best way to do this? Should I create a Gedcom file, rename the file and delete the family branch that I don't want in the file. Or can I just copy my father's line somehow from the existing file and then rename the file? __________________________________ Sent from eM Client | www.emclient.com/get No virus found in this message.
