No. My example was for descendants, but you can use the same Tagging feature, only start by Tagging ancestors first. Tag any sections, ancestors, and/or descendants, and/or individuals, and then go to Export, and choose All records with an individual tag of: (select the Tag number you used), and start the export.

Be happy.  :-)

If I use tagging I would need to export a file for each furthest ancestor and then merge them, no?

    The best method is to use the Tagging features.  I often do this
    in a way to include spouse's parents.  If you first Tag all
    descendants, and then go to export, the program gives you the
    option of selecting all records with an individual Tag of: All
    their Spouses, and/or all their Children, and/or all their
    Parents.  If you want to include other sections, then Tag them
    too, before exporting.  If you want to also include or exclude any
    particular records before exporting, then you can do it manually,
    one-by-one, if you want.

    After you export your file, open it, and see if it includes all
    those you wanted.  Also go to the View menu, and select Trees, to
    make sure you succeeded in getting them all into one tree,
    assuming that was your intent.

    Happy Exporting.  :-)

        I want to export a section of my file specific to my cousin.
        She's new to this, doesn't want or need my people who aren't
        related to her. I've tried a couple things but haven't gotten
        what I want. I am thinking it will involve a focus group. If I
        use an Individual and Ancestors it does not include the
        collaterals. I would like to start with the youngest person,
        include their ancestors but also their ancestors' spouses,
        siblings, etc. Is there a way to do this?
