Speaking to Don Snow. You haven't see those mass-merged records, have you? I found so many of them and still working to separate so many of them. This AFFECTS your Tree. I will be meeting with your cousin tonight and he is going to throw monkey wrench in your tree with his efforts to separate his Snow line (Gardner Snow line.) I tried to fix one of my ancestors via Family Tree. NO CAN DO! There isn't a way to separate wrong persons OUT of my ancestor. Only in nFS and I checked with admin about it. It's only in nFS to do that. I had Thomas French combined with Richard Bartlett, Thomas Wyatt, William Cole, etc as single person. The combined record was of more than 6,000 records, 3/4 wrong.

I'm glad you are helping a Snow, David. We need all the help we can get. :=) As you point out, there are many things we still can't do in FSFT and combining and separating is one of them. Even in nFS I still can't combine all the Erastus Snow records since they form too large a group. When we can get rid of all the duplication in there, it will make the problem much easier to solve. One of the things I'm trying to do now is get the Summaries correct and separate out wrong relationships so they don't show incorrectly in FSFT. I think we'll just have to wait until later to fix some things so we can have a record "worthy of all acceptation".
