I am working with several cousins on both sides on my family tree. I generally create a new family group on my Family Tree Maker. I can add new information as I get. It is in one place in a form that I see. It is organized. When and if we decided that the group is a definite addition to our family tree, it will be easy to merge. Paper info can be file in a working folder. Toni Gorman rockall@aol.com
