When you say you lost your DB, do you mean the files were erased, the
entire PAF program directory is gone and / or did HDD get formatted? If
it is one of the first two items try undeleting the files. For all three
the Internet has free to try programs, that have a limited MB size or time
frame of usage. So you may have to purchase one you find that works to
your needs. If the file(s) are unrecoverable from the above steps, start
with your back up DB. It cannot be as bad as starting from zero.

Else wise use PAF to save information as a GEDCOM and import it into
Legacy. Then verify all the information in the format that you mentioned.

I do not use Legacy. But in FTM, I can save the ancestors or decendents
of a particular line. No re-typing needed. Worst case make a copy of
your original file under a new name and delete the info not needed (AKA
the hard way).

I bought a new computer and the back=up file I had didn't work, so I have
started again from scratch. I had no access to the old computer to be able
to go back to it to get the data.

I'm pleased with Legacy, but wasn't sure how to go about isolating one
branch of the family. Thanks to the help I got from everyone, I think I'm
now able to tackle it once I get the rest of my Taplin's entered in.

Thanks again everyone for your help
