I'm just wondering whether, when I get to an expected 40 000 names, it will be too unwieldy to be usable. Firstly FH generally handles large gedcoms very well. I am wondering why you are scrolling down the list. Remember you can position to any person at the top of the list just enter "surname,forename" , also if you use a name search query to can easily cut the list down to a manageable amount. You can find the name search query here: http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=fhugdownloads:contents:name_search Once installed you can customise it to show what ever columns you want. -- Jane.
