All one-name studies have different characteristics. So what works well for me may not clinch it for you, Valerie. Four ways the program has assisted me: multiple copy functions and sort options make data entry a breeze user-defined spreadsheet layout of the Records Window is very helpful for finding a particular individual among others (I have 1,800 people named William HOWES for example and another 1,200 William HOWSE or HOUSE or HOWS or HOWZE) native GED/text mode means the file is less than 1/5th of the size of equivalent FTM files and further compresses to 1/7th of that for backups probably as a result of 3, it doesn’t crash my computer or need regular tending (compressing) The only thing that continues to irk me is the ordering of events by date or more specifically, the inability to specify easily a preferred option, particularly for births. Without that you have to be careful every time you amend a person’s record to re-order the events so that the one you want is at the top. Still, I’m still here after six months!

I am sure there must be some of you who are doing a OneName of OnePlace study and so I would be interested in your comments as to how this program helped you.
