Greetings to all Thought I'd put in my penny's worth here as well. I have always argued for maintaining separate gedcom files for each family tree. There are several good reasons for doing this: - it is easier to maintain and update - it only contains linked data that is all related. A mixed bag like at present has heaps of unrelated events that may never link up and gives a false impression of linked events - it is easier to cross reference to source data in other places on the website - it allows people researching a particular tree to access data that is only related to their own family line and not get confused by lots of events that have no relevance to their own family interest - smaller trees tend to get lost in the sheer volume of information Thanks James for asking for comments on this. Appreciated. Cheers Robert --------------------------------------------- Robert Sterry 9 Baileys Lane, Kurrajong Hills NSW AUSTRALIA
