For all those who desire FOW to be "more" than it is, consider using it in different way. I maintain two additional databases to supplement my standard FOW database used specifically for genealogy. By using the "User Defined Facts", I create specific topics. Here is an example. "General Information" database. The Root Person is named "General Info" in the surname filed. Children are named in a similar fashion. Some of the children are Dates & Calendars, Relationships, Naturalization, Immegration, Nobility, Occupations, Medical, etc. Each child has one of more topics created using the User Defined Facts. Take the example of Relationships. The topics are Cousins, Kissing Cousins, and Marriage Banns. For each topic, the Notes are used to contain the information, and the Sources is used to document the information sources. When a topic is too large for the Notes, I break it up into sections and identify the sections in the fact description field. Example of this is Feudal Terms (in my Terminology child). It is in 2 parts, A to M, and N to Z. Basically, the structure of this database is an Outline. When viewed in the Family View, it presents itself in an outline type of format. Nothing prevents adding another level of children (grandchildren) to the organization. Why do this at all? Well, it makes it easy to share with others, regardless of FOW, or PAF (4+), or other similar programs usage, a convienient place to gather genealogy related information that supplements research, and does not require the interested party to purchase or learn another piece of software. A second database contains maps collected over the years from a variety of sources. Each map is "linked" into the MultiMedia catalog. The maps are organized geographically as noted above. With these supplemental databases, I can pull them up while working in my main database and work with the information side by side. I know of others that use FOW for animal breeding records. This particular usage has deen well discussed already. Anyone else using FOW in a non-traditional way? If so, please share with the group. Dick
