I have mixed both parents of my children plus I have added friends which are entered FR-Doe John so by putting the "FR at the beginning of the surname it is kept separate from my family stuff There are over 2000 entries for this stuff in my data I add every relative that I can find to all the people in my records I never get confused with the entries in my data. I even have the ancestry of my sons and daughters in law. Works for me!

I do mine as one complete database because my parents have four distinct connections in earlier generations between between different branches. Splitting them would make double work.

I started out with them all together then a couple of years ago split it into two, now I'm not so certain when it comes to using MRINs for filing purposes. How do other users deal with their data? cheers Wendy -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
