Dividing a family tree into component families

How would I go about forming individual family trees from the various component families within the overall tree on a large(ish - 1050 names) - family tree. If I have, for instance, eight named family inputs into 'me' then, OK, I could GEDCOM my tree eight times with eight different family names - would I then have to manually delete all individuals which did not relate to that particular name from each ... or is there a 'proper' way of achieving this?

Any thoughts in regard to this will be appreciated - John

As I understand it you can't split your Genes tree but maybe this old link will help:
