I didn't mean for the comment to come off as derogatory toward tiOPF, I 
simply meant that what I wanted to do was expected to be very rudimentary 
- sorry about that. I think my down-fall was using AutoMapping.  In 
retrospect, how is tiOPF to know that if the object's ParentOID = its own 
OID it is a root element?  I was trying to use the one-many example but 
there the root element for telephone numbers is always the client.

I'll get GTIOPFManager.Read(FFamTreeObj); working.  Thanks for all your 
help.

I am still hoping to be of some assistance in this but time will tell.

Thanks again,
