Thanks Jay - and Ron for following on with detailed steps.
The process of conducting a Detailed Search with the ‘Primary Condition’ of Relationship Equal To Related and the ‘Second Condition’ of Relationship Equal To Spouses and In-laws brought together in a list all the individuals that I was hoping to export. Instead of setting tags for these individuals I just exported the list as a Focus Group entry. I am a little surprised these parameters are not directly built in to the export process (as I would think that many people would just like to export individuals with a specific relationship to a nominated person), but I am pleased to know that it can be done. Thanks again, Matthew From: Ron Taylor [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 11 July 2013 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Export an Individual and their Relatives Jay, Your suggestion to use Detailed Search and Relationship Equal To Related to find all those that have been identified with some relationship is another great way to find and then use Advanced Tagging to tag the relatives. Begin by using Tools>Set Relationships and specify the parameters as desired. Then the Detailed Search and finally click Options>Advanced Tagging to tag the results of the search. Proceed with export as I previously outlined.

I have 22,000 people related to me in my database of 210,000 people. If I tag ancestors (plus related) I get only 761 persons If I tag "related in any way", I get all 174,000 that are connected within the one 'tree' But if you "reset" the relationships to the person you want to export all his/her relatives to , you should get the correct set of persons. Then simply do a search for all those who are related, Tag them and use that tag number to select persons to export to gedcom. Dont forget to reset relationships back you yourself, if that is your regular default. Does that make sense?
