Something I do but it depends on how you use tags I Tag as Tag1 all my direct line and Tag9 as everyone in my Tree
That way I can see at a glance my direct line and if I edit a person who I know to not be a direct line then providing Tag9 is set I work accordingly. I the person has neither tag then I ignore the information as a waste of time. Alan Pereira From: Ila East [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 February 2015 15:52 To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Direct Line Ancestor I have all my data in one database. I found I was getting side tracked with syncing with Family Search and working on collateral lines instead of my direct lines. I thought I was being smart and exported my direct line ancestors. I made some changes and merged the files. I just spent over an hour merging duplicates because they were all duplicates LOL Is there some way that is more efficient than splitting the files? When I look at the sync screen, I don’t see anything distinguishing direct lines from collateral lines. How do you handle this? As a retired secretary, when I get a match on Family Search and their file has numerous alternate names that are all the same, the secretary in me gets involved in just cleaning up the file. I know, as a friend of mine says, it’s a personal problem. LOL Anyway, looking for suggestions that might work for me.
