It is only possible to split your family tree into two or more branches using our family tree software, Family Tree Builder.
First, if you don’t have it yet, please download Family Tree Builder for free here.
Then open a browser and log into your Family Site on MyHeritage.com. Place the mouse over the ‘Family tree’ tab and click on ’Manage Trees’.
Click on ‘Export to GEDCOM’ for the tree you would like to divide.
This will save your family tree to your computer as a file with a .ged extension.
Once you have the file downloaded, and you have properly installed Family Tree Builder, you can double click on the GEDCOM file that you exported and it should open up automatically in Family Tree Builder. This will restore your entire project into Family Tree Builder.
Next, please see the FAQ item below to help you export the branch you want to split from the main tree to a GEDCOM file that will be saved on your computer.
Once you export specific branches of your main tree to the separate GEDCOM file on your computer, you can upload this file back to Family Tree Builder as a new project and then sync it with your site.
As an alternative option, you can import the new GEDCOM file that was created as a result of exporting branches, directly to your family site:
