Margaret, Dick, Anne, .... Thanks for your responses. I guess I didn't miss much while off line. My gripe about FO has been the Kinship List. It is based on the search list and, for multiple entries of the same surname, you are bound to get relationships out of sequence because the order is based on the given name. For instance, my father Arthur is listed before my grandfather Charles. This really gets confusing when you have a lot of generations of the same surname with some repeats of certain given names (like mine, because I'm named after my grandfather). When working on a family, there is a re-arrange function for spouses and children that doesn't depend on where the given name is in the alphabet. It seems to me that something like that could be expanded into the search list. Back in the good old DOS days and before genealogy software was available, I used to keep my database in spreadsheet format (Quattro Pro). I had columns for Surname, Given Name, Born, etc., etc., etc. There was a sort function for the block of columns and rows and if you made the first sort key column A (Surname) and the second sort key column B (Given Name), you got exactly what you get in the FO search list. To change this so it made more sense, I added another column and put a simple code in there, like 1, 2, 3, ..., and changed the sort keys to column A, column X (sort code) and column B. Then I got the list arranged the way I wanted it. Maybe if we had another field for sort code (something like the suffix field), the problem could be solved. How about it, Bruce? Charles
