Cheryl, I use Legacy to record the lineages of my One Name Study of the surname BAGE. This means there will be many unconnected family lines. However, I like to have all of this in just one file. This way it's easy to navigate and see the full picture. I can always export if I need a particular family separate.
I do however make use of some other files, i.e. I have one with all the BAGE IGI information in which I refer to and when ready I move this info into my main file. This method works well in my opinion. Keith Bage BAGE One Name Study (GOONS registered # 4451) http://www.bage.org.uk P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
