Family Trees
« on: Tuesday 01 September 09 01:36 UTC (UK) »
I have one combined Tree for the families of both my wife and myself. Is this satisfactory or should I have a separate Tree for each family.?  I would appreciate some guidance from experienced Legacy users.

Hi There,

I do not call myself experienced at all when it comes to legacy but I have split my tree as there were too many in the main one.

I have now divided it into different surnames so that I can concentrate on one branch at a time.

Can you split it once started as one tree.?
Ignore that question I have found the answer in Help where I should have looked!!

Yes you can. There is something in the help section of legacy which will explain how to do this. It is under split trees.

I am sure there are others that can help as well

my wife and my tree,s are together on ancestry and g/r so we both get hints and hot matches some not so good some better but we have some good matches this means we only pay for one of us but we keep them apart on paper.

HI, Not a legacy user (I use rootsmagic  Wink ) but I started out using one tree but as the tree grew and I started to research sideways it became just too big so I split mine and it is now much easier to manage.  You can always merge them again!

Appreciate your help. I will do likewise with our tree and see how it grows. Thanks.
