Marianne I've been using TNG for some years now and although I don't have 40,000 names (around 19,000 as I write), I am aware of many users of TNG with many more, including one of nearly 500,000 that runs perfectly. TNG can handle huge databases just as well as small ones and really is one of the best utilities for showing off your research to its best! Google for TNG users list, and you will find a host of help and advice and massive support from the writer, Darrin Lythgoe. Good luck Best regards Roger Mitchell rdm@mfo.me.uk http://mfo.me.uk -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of marianne leonardt Sent: 23 December 2011 09:09 To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FHU] Very large gedcoms Many thanks to everyone who responded. I've been using FH for ages and still didn't know how to navigate the name index! So I shall continue with my single gedcom, and I've decided to upgrade to FH4/5.
