Hi Listers
A few years back I decided to run with one family file and do my
research in that, so that I wouldn't have to figure out if I had
updated any other files that had the same people. My research needs
now require a split for my dad's line.
My biggest dilemma is keeping any changes updated
Dave,
I find that when I use sources I use the name of the person that was
used by the source in a couple of different ways. Most often it ends
up in the source detail section of a source. For instance a marriage
where I have the marriage certificate would be called "Victorian

I agree, Ron, you did seem to address the issue she is having.
I agree too! But I think it important to remember than any answers we
give on LUG will be read by many other people besides the OP and one
wouldn't want to mislead anyone.

This is great. Before I thought you had to import all, now one can restore
