Valerie I use FH for my ONS. I have one project per country. I make great use of the Find Duplicates plugin and also some custom queries. As I come across new data I use the queries to see if there is that person in the database if not I enter the data. After data entry I then run the Find Duplicates just in case. If one of my names moves from one country to another I do an export of that individual (and their family if they went with them) and an import into the appropriate other project. I find this way of working suits me. I also use Ancestral Sources to add sources to the individuals where appropriate. I know there are several other members of the Guild of One-Name Studies who use FH for their studies. -- Regards Colin http://turnspain.com http://orba-design.com

Valerie, Like Colin, I use FH for my ONS, but I have one project per family, as mine are inclined to migrate across Country borders. FH is the only program I've found that uses GedCom as its database structure, so no conversion is required when sharing data or when uploading to my TNG website. The plugins look very promising, but I've yet to explore that feature. HTH, Ken Guild ONS 1331.
