Denise, Perhaps I should directly discuss the problem I've been trying to solve. Surely this applies to almost everyone?
The real problem is that some records have very little credibility, whereas others are quite authoritative. People tend to research GROUPS of people. And, thus, everything in that group has roughly the same level of credibility. In my case, I have four groups. Don't most people have a similar situation? 1. Family A, researched by family A, recently. 2. Family B, researched by family B, published 1896. 3. Family C, my immediate family, supplied by living persons and current vital records. 4. The hodgepodge of everything else, shared gedcom files, LDS ancestral files, etc., none of it containing any documentation. It seems to me that I *need* to keep A, B, and C, separate from each other. They're being researched by different groups, with different standards of credibility. And I most definitely need to keep A, B, and C, away from the hodgepodge. Every time I'm tempted to merge my rock solid "good" data with the hodgepodge, I regret it. Doesn't everyone have this same issue? Or am I missing something fundamental here? Finally, let me rephrase my original question. I have, unfortunately, a single hodgepodge which also contains A, B, and C. I'm having no success, inside Legacy 5.0, in creating a database of just A, just B, or just C.
