Legacy question please

[pergurd]

I have a very large database of over 7000 names in the tree. Short of doing
a member by member search in relationship calculator, how would i make sure
that all people in the tree are somehow related to me or my wife? (What I am
looking to eliminate are those people trees that are married into the
family)
Thanks
Doug

why?

cluster geneaolgy and family history even includes friends and neighbours

better use FTM or whatever to make abnentafel report

eg

like http://home.earthlink.net/~dpshort/dpritchard.html
<meta name="Generator" content="AceHTML 4 Freeware">

whatever that is
but it sits well in google

surname + "place name"

Use tagging (ctrl-T) or Edit -> Tag

Set one of your children as starting point and use one of the
ancestors-options. Then do what you want with all persons thus tagged
(export to fresh database, report making or whatever). If you have no
children, then just tag yourself first, then your wife with same tag.

I find the ancestor options (at least in Legacy 4.0)

either give all (with or without spouses) ancestors with or without
their siblings, but not cousins,

or give all ancestors, their siblings and children (ie cousins),
spouses, but also spouses of spouses, children of such unrelated people
etc.

The latter group, which seems larger than the OP wished, is considered
one tree, if View : Tree Finder is used.

The earlier group seems smaller than the OP wanted.

I have a very low-tech solution that enables me to keep as many
branches in my file while at the same time being able to easily
identify who is a direct-line ancestor/descendant:

I use ALL CAPS for the surnames of those people who are direct line to
me. That way, when I'm looking at any report, including the index of
all names in the file, I can easily see who's direct-line.

Legacy lets you do that without typing a thing.

There is an advantage in not having to change the case of surnames of
people who turn out to be direct line when one discovers a marriage
between third or fourth cousins.
