Rick,
I also would suggest you don't do it unless you need it separate for a
particular purpose. Even then, I wouldn't edit it.
But here is a way to split a tree either for a temporary purpose or
permanently.

Yes, I split my trees into three [one for a 3^rd 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!

I would leave it as is. 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.

I can think of a couple of ways, but do it on a copy of your tree
rather than the master.
1. 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.

Is there a way to split a family tree? 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.
Thanks,
Rick
