Hi,
does any one know how to detach my husbands tree from mine in FTM 2009?
I added his entire family to mine when I began my tree and now it is too big to print! I would like to create a separate tree for just his family without having to start at the beginning!
Also if it is possible to do the above, can i create a separate tree for him which will show all individuals in his tree and not just the bare bones?

Any advice would be gratefully received

Thank you
Blue

ps i'm not an experienced ftm user

There are three or four methods for doing this. Have a look at this help page

I have used the "All-in-one Tree method in the past with success
