Dan, Repeating previous user comments. Put everything you want to save in one file. Two files lead to a lot more work and confusion. I know, I tried it.
Legacy has many options for selecting just the ancestors or descendants of a specific person. One of the most useful options is creating a "book" of all the DEAD descendants of an ancestor, which can be shared without a risk of identity theft it gets in the hands of the wrong person. Do be sure you use the [[ ]] to make info private in notes, sources, and events that should not be shared with the world. And backup to an external hard drive and/or the cloud every time you close the program or make changes or additions-at least daily. You can put e-mail and other correspondence in the general notes or sources or other locations so that years later you will still have the info available, even if you lose your e-mail files.
