Title: Re: [LegacyUG] Exporting sources
This may have already been mentioned, but to create a useable subset of my master Legacy database (in Legacy format), I use the Focus Groups options available in Views / Focus Group. Depending on what I'm trying to accomplish, I sometimes have to create an initial focus group database subset, then do some edits/pruning, and then do a second focus group export. Knowing what to do takes a bit of time until you get the steps refined to achieve the exact objective, documenting the steps along the way. Repeating a complicated subset process after database updates or with slightly different subsetting choices takes me 10-15 minutes at most.
All this is done in Legacy files, not GEDCOM, to retain all data, sources, formats, etc. I always start by making a *copy* of my master database and working with that.
Hope this helps.

Instead of exporting, can you try this:
Make a copy of your tree with a new name,
Edit THAT copy to remove the branches you do not need. Can this work?

The only way to retain SourceWriter sources is to export to a New Legacy File not to a GEDCOM. You can elect to export a tagged group as a New Legacy file on the Options for records to export.

I have a large database of about 56,000 records. I want to split the
database into seperate families that are not related.
I tried tagging several thousand individuals who were all related into a
single family, some 7,000 people, created a gedcom for Legacy and then
imported these records into a new Legacy database file using the
gedcom. One of the problems in doing this, is that sources in the
larger database which were created using the source writer method
reverted back to basic sources in the new smaller database file.
Does anyone know of a way to split a Legacy database file into smaller
Legacy Dataebase files and not loose the Source writer type sources?
Thank you
