Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting A Tree

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

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!

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.

Personally, and especially within a single family tree, I would never split it.

resolves issues with crosslinks further up.

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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting A Tree

[Chris Hill]

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.

[LegacyUG] Splitting A Tree

[Rick and Evvy White]

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
