I finally got time to do this, and it worked. Thank you Dave, and also Jim re splitting files, and Carl for your suggestions. I'm glad I finally signed up for this list. I'll have more questions I'm sure. Re Advanced deleting, if anyone else does it, be careful which # you tag the people you want deleted; I tagged the default #1, which also identified my WWI vet era people. Changed it to 5 and got the correct people.

How do I do this? If the ones you want to get rid of have been disconnected (unlinked) from your main tree, then use: View > Tree Finder to see all the unconnected trees in your family file. Note that you should "refresh" this list every time you use it. In Tree Finder you can select whole trees and Tag all the individuals contained in each. Then by going to Advanced Deleting you can delete everyone that has that tag set.
