Hi John,
You can't do 1) except by individually untagging spouses.
You do 2) simply by selecting to tag Descendants (Include all
descendants) (in Advanced Tagging - if you want them tagged you don't
go to the Focus Group)
You can add other spouses and other children and the parents of

Why not? If I understand you correctly you are saying one must always

then entering the other as a spouse/partner, then
