Couple of questions to the informed crowd here I am working to reconcile a large number of European place name citations in a fairly large Legacy file (30,000+ individuals) between currently accepted naming conventions and older or alternate spelling and language differences. A simple clear ex

Hi Carol, "The real problem is how do I remove those with the same RIN as the desired person??? The ones which are bogus have a “double S” prefix." Where are you seeing this "double S" (§) as a prefix - is it in the Name List, or the Index view, or somewhere else? I know this symbol is used

Carol, If you click on the Index tab, all you have to do to get rid of the "RINs with the "double S" prefix is to go to the Options button in the upper right corner and click to turn off the "Include Married Names" options. What you are calling bogus names should be the married names of women

You must first decide which location system you will use, and then the questions become easy. 1. Use the location name as it existed at the time of the 'event'. I have some towns with as many as eight different names. 2. Use the location as it exists 'today'. Then when governments change the va
