Try this. It's not difficult but it may be tedious if you've traced your lines
back a long way.
Search -> Find -> Miscellaneous tab
Set yourself as the start person (if not already set)
Direct Line Ancestors with no parents
Clear List before this search
Create List
This gives you a list of all your furthest back ancestors.
For me, I would have 639. Some might be redundant (eg husband and wife).
>From the search list, for each person on the list
First person only
Options -> Advanced Tagging
select desired tag number, untag, everyone, yes
Also suggest setting the tag you are using as one of the 3 tags
being shown on the search list
Select tag, Descendants
Set spouse option if desired (presumably all)
Set generations (presumably max/999)
Select Descendants (vs entire line)
OK
Close
All Other (I think it would be OK to skip persons that are already
tagged)
Options -> Advanced Tagging
Descendants
OK
Close
This should give you all of your ancestors and all of their descendants (all
your cousins).

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging every ancestor and their offspring?
That still does not get all the children and grandchildren and cousins of each
couple. I'm trying to identify all of my relatives (up and down the line) from
those of my wife so I can give a copy of my family tree to my relatives. This
really shouldn't be that difficult.

This is what the Advanced Tagging: Ancestors, Entire Ancestor Line promises.
Whether or not it works for you depends on whether you have links between
branches. I do have links so can't use it. eg a maternal cousin married a
distant relative of my father. You can control it a bit by setting the number
of generations.
When I want all the ancestors of a person with all the offspring of each
ancestor, I identify the ancestor or ancestor couple at the end of lines of
their pedigree chart and then tag the descendants of each one or each couple on
the same tag (which of course I've made sure is
clear) To tag the descendants you use Advanced Tagging - Descendants
- and make sure you choose Descendants and NOT Entire Descendant Line.
If you don't want the spouses who married into the line and enabled the next
generation of descendants, then I think you have to manually untag them.
This is most easily done in Descendant View. Customise the columns to show the
tag number you have used. You can double click in the Tag column to either set
or unset a tag.
