From: Roland Rhoades <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Maternal line tagging To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, March 7, 2013, 8:57 PM Thank you RonThat sounds like it will do what I want. I'll pass this along to our genealogy team for their use too. I tend to use "gedcom" generically; yes, I'll keep it a Legacy file. Our LEAVITT genealogy team compared PAF, FTM, TMG, Roots Magic, and decided on Legacy as the best to use for our project.

I recommend sending a backup of the exported Legacy database versus sending GEDCOM and encourage those receiving the files to use Legacy to examine and merge the data or other collaborative efforts.Ron Taylor --- On Thu, 3/7/13, Roland Rhoades <[email protected]> wrote: From: Roland Rhoades <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Maternal line tagging To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, March 7, 2013, 1:28 PMI have a similar question.I have a thousand or so Leavitt descendants in my personal gedcom that I want to copy to my gedcom for the LEAVITT Family Assn as their genealogist.Of course I can pick the oldest person and create a gedcom of all his descendants. But that either picks the bare bones with NO parents of spouses, or it grabs everybody in any way connected, adding lots of unwanted stuff into my LEAVITT gedcom. For the LEAVITT genealogy, we don't care who the grandparents of the spouses are, all we want is the NAMES of all the spouses' parents like you get when you print out a book of descendants. What is the simplest way to do that?Thanks.

But when I try either both my mother's relatives and my father's relatives are tagged or only the direct descendants for my mother's line are tagged. The latter is close to what I want, but I still must seek out parents of spouses and tag them individually. Can anyone suggest a quicker or neater method of tagging?
