Read and try what I described. It will help you tag the set you wanted. If it does not, please tell why it doesn't. Ron Taylor On Wednesday, April 2, 2014 11:53 PM, Bob Austen <[email protected]> wrote:
Dave, I have always used the Detailed Search to find my entire direct line. I have loved this Legacy method as I keep only one file and can separate out any family with ease. Now, with some of the replies, I may be doing it incorrectly??? Maybe I'll have to explore the results a little more closely. My method: Set your Direct Line Go to Detailed Search (Check 'Clear List before this search') Primary Condition 1 Look for whom? Individual Where to look Relationship How to Look Equal to What to look for Related Second Condition: "Or" Look for whom? Individual Where to look Relationship How to Look Equal to What to look for Spouses and Inlaws Then you can go to Options/Advanced Tagging and tag everyone in the Search List. This should give you your entire family tree. If you leave out the second condition you won't get the spouses and inlaws. This does include my step children but not my wife's other husband. This should work for anyone in your file where you have set the direct line. If you want your wife's tree then use her as the starting person to Set Preferred Line. I would appreciate knowing if this was what you were looking for and how you make out.

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.
