Yes, I split my trees into three [one for a 3rd cousins family] and really regret it because there are now people common to each branch of these trees so I am going to have to combine them all again – what a nightmare!

Somewhere, down the years, there will be people who descend from both your's and your wife's trees and they would appreciate having all the information in the one tree.

Tag all of your wife's ancestors, and her. But you then need to find and add all of the spouses, siblings, parents etc. Then you can export the tagged records. 2. Preferably, I would remove your marriage and leave your children with only one of you. You should then find that you have two trees within the file. If it is still one then you have a link between both sets of ancestors which you need to resolve. Once you get it to trees then you can export one of them, or just remove one and keep the other. Personally, and especially within a single family tree, I would never split it. It is better to just have one tree with the same set of locations etc, and it resolves issues with crosslinks further up.

For example, my current tree has my ancestors on one branch and my wife’s ancestors on another branch. Is there a way to copy my wife’s branch only into a separate data file? I have looked in the help file but don’t seem to find a way to do this but maybe I’m not asking the right question.
