Interesting question. The quickest way to isolate members of a separate tree is probably to use Entire Ancestor and Entire Descendant line from that particular person making sure the number of generations is at least as many as the number of generations you have in your trees.
Or you could set relationships to the particular Donald and then search for those with Relationship equal to Related. This would not list the entire tree they were in though. In both cases sorting the list by RIN to find the person with the lowest RIN in the first case should and in the second could show the person listed in the Trees list. Note you can get a list of people in a particular focus group from the Miscellaneous Search tab. Another way would be to tag each tree in the Tree finder in turn and look to see which tags the particular Donald had but that could take ages. Interested to see if anyone comes up with a quicker method.
