Diane, Here are two critical things to keep in mind if your entire family file is getting copied in the Split Screen View:
1. When in an Ancestor Options screen, select only 'Direct Line Ancestors' and optionally you can check mark the three boxes under Direct Line Ancestors. Do not select 'Entire Ancestor Line'. This option is exactly like adding an entire family line and will take everybody connected in any way to the individual -- up or down or sideways in his or her family tree. 2. When in a Descendant Options screen, select only 'Descendants (includes all descendants)'. Do not select 'Entire Descendant Line'. This option is exactly like adding an entire family line and will take everybody connected in any way to the individual -- up or down or sideways in his or her family tree.
