Dawn, Although I do not understand why you would wish to do this - I never throw away information as one never knows when or by whom it may be required - Ah the penny has dropped!!! you mean from your file.
You have all your husband's ancestors tagged from the previous excercise. Simply untag your husband (Family View, click on the appropriate tag number) and go to Tools>Advanced Deleting and all individuals with the tag you selected. *Do remember to back-up first* Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________ Create your Website with Legacy, see Tutorials at: http://www.fergys.co.uk Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.

However, I would go to each of his oldest ancestors, by which I mean, the oldest from his father's side and mother's through each grand parent etc. Then use Advanced Tagging - Family View>right click on the tags - choose a convenient tag number and select Descendants Having done this for all the descendant trees use File>Export To>Legacy File.

We do not have kids, and for now, I have no interest in researching his family. Although I do have some of his family recorded, I want it in a separate file, so it doesn't interfere with my name, location or research lists.
