Hi Your wrote... >> I am continuing with my research into the people who lived in my small town, using the 1841 - 1911 Censuses as my starting point. >> I have a similar database for the town I am interested in!. I started over 10 years ago with an ACCESS database of census transcriptions and BMD info and I gave every family a unique number and every person a unique reference number. From the database I have generated web pages for each census and also an Index of persons with links back into the census pages. WHen I had the ‘bright’ idea of doing family trees for everyone I carried over the refno and familyno into the GENERATIONs software I used at the time. I have carried on with this in FH because I found that the POOL seemed to keep changing and I need to tie in Family 57 (say) with family 57 in the database. I did this using a custom attribute for REF and FAMILY (my names) Fiona
