Thank you for answering my question as to whether there was a way to
copy tag information from one data set to another. It turns out that
there isn't, but now I know. :)

BTW, I keep several different data sets because I prefer to keep my
ancestry and that of my husband in different data sets and those are
my two main ones. I also keep data sets for a couple of different
surnames I am collecting information about, not all of which I am
able to confirm or even know if they fit into my own family anywhere.
Now, I know that there are ways to include it into my main data and
marking it as unproven or whatever, but I like to keep it separate.

Anyway, again, I thank you for your help.
