Dave, Try this: 1. Unlink your wife from her parents2. Select yourself as the focus person3. Go to Advanced Tagging, select a Tag # and Untag that from everyone4. Select Tag "Entire Family Line"5. Review Name List to ensure that the correct people are tagged6. Create a new Legacy family file or GEDCOM from the tagged list7. Re-link your wife to her parents Hope this works for you.
