Cathy, these trees were all in the one .fdb file so provided no difficulty (as described in my second, follow-up email).
Refresh removed the one that was a conceptual difficulty (an impossibility) for a database. The remaining trees were deleted (if 1 person, isolated and not a part of the main tree). The others are legitimate, and I may keep them; and it is easier to manage, I think, within the one .fdb file – at least at present. I have linked to existing persons several times, when needed. Legacy is quite flexible.

Just link them into the right place again. When you go to add a person in Legacy there is always the choice to link to existing. When done go to View - Trees and click Refresh and you should discover that this island has disappeared. Note you have to click Refresh as Trees does not Refresh automatically (takes too much time if it's not what you need at that moment). But I'm not clear if you actually mean that they are in separate Family Files. That's a different issue. If that's what you mean email again. Cathy Ian Thomas wrote: I’m not sure how to proceed with an artefact of my few months of using Legacy Family Tree (v8, Deluxe). So I am seeking advice. In my Legacy Family file (project), I have one quite large Tree and, for reasons I will explain, 3 other Trees with from 6 to 22 members. One of these Trees which I will call “Wilson”, actually comprises 20 members who are all contained within the large (“Main”) Tree; I have checked that their RIN are the same as those in “Main” – there are not 2 separate records for each person. The “Wilson” Tree started with one of my great-grandfathers, and is separate from the “Main” Tree because I had difficulties in establishing the connection, and split a handful of people from “Main” while I checked more thoroughly – and in the process, it accumulated a few extra people (siblings, female parents without maiden names, etc). Subsequently, I corrected some wrong information and found that the “Wilson” great-grandfather indeed does fit my “Main” Tree, and I reconnected. So, “Wilson” Tree is superfluous, but the 20 people are “needed”. I fear that deleting the entire “Wilson” Tree will remove 20 persons from my “Main” Tree, and require re-entry of those 20 persons; but I would like to remove the “Wilson” Tree for tidiness. Is there another solution? The other small Trees of 6 and 22 members arose when I split off false branches on my “Main”, having determined that they were unrelated. These 2 Trees could be deleted, but are of interest and could be put into separate “projects” (Legacy Family file databases, .fdb). Not a problem.
