When you specify All Ancestors, I believe Legacy goes up the tree, then back down all the branches. If there are common ancestors, you will pull in their trees too. In a nutshell, it pulls in the entire "island". I can't suggest a quick and easy way to solve your problem, as I rarely split files and I don't have the common ancestor problem that you do. The only thing I can even think of is to try the top-down approach instead of the bottom-up approach. Maybe use "Search|Miscellaneous Searches|Direct-line ancestors with no parents" to find the tops of all your lines. Then, for the lines you want to export, add "Descendants" (not "Entire Descendant Line") to your Focus Group. Are the individuals that you want to export marked with a specific trust-worthy source? Maybe you could "Show List" on that source and tag the results? -- Dennis M.
