Wendy,
I originally had 6 family trees and about a year ago I opted to
combine them into one to make input easier. I was attempting to upload
the new Legacy tree on my web site, to replace my old TMG program file.
However, because of the size it seems it takes forever to upload. It
ran for over 3 hours yesterday and still hadn't uploaded. So I decided
to split the tree back to at least 4 separate files.
As I said, I was able to split my wife's family into 2 separate
trees (Eltz and Connor) and appears to have worked. However, I note
when I run Tree Finder, I am also listed as the only name on both families.
When I tried to split my family family (Sutton and Jones) I don't
get the nice clean separation that I got with my wife's families. I
created the new trees starting with my and my wife's parents. On her
trees her brother and sister are still showing with both parents and I
still show up linked to her through marriage.
Don't know if I should show up on my wife's tree with I run Tree
Finder. I also noted that the RIN numbers when I did the split continue
to be the same as from when I had the single tree, i.e. my father-in-law
was RIN 10318 in the single tree and still the RIN in the Eltz split file.
Really wish I had left the files split early on. I still have them
but have added so much more info and did a big source record clean up
that I'm reluctant to revert back to them.
