Ancestors or descendants
“Keep only the ancestors” keeps the person, their parents, grandparents and so on up the tree. “Keep only the descendants” keeps the person, their spouses, children, grandchildren and their spouses. Sources, notes and photos used by the people who stay are kept; the rest is left out.
Typical uses
Sending a relative only their side of the family, uploading one line to a site that limits the tree size, or starting a separate project from one ancestor.
