This will seem a heinous crime to most dedicated genealogists .
But, I have been given a tree of some 8400 names and I want to whittle this down to a much more manageable size, I am not really interested in Sara Anne unknown “Wife of 2nd cousin 3x removed of husband of 4th cousin 1x removed of Perkymite” I need to split the tree into more direct ancestors and not include the distant, distant relatives(?). In fact it is one of the reasons I bought 2012.
I have gone through the little companion booklet that comes with it and I have tried searching for Splitting a Family tree but have had no luck. Could one of you kind people point me in the right direction.
Many thanks for any help given
