Hello, Walt an others!! I very much appreciate your comments in the message with that subject line shown above!! One of my own 'stumbling places' (after I had got a considerable amount of data already in-put) with FTW was that I later decided I wanted to operate with at least four data-base groups, as one person suggested, with my four sets of GP couples. Now, I have also decided to take the FTW GEDCOM (In separate parts, if possible) and transfer them into the PAF 5.2, one of the four GP couples (plus the data for their ancestor group) at a time. I have not become very familiar with the PAF in-putting process, yet, so there is still a good bit of 'learning curve' for me to get through. Is it better to do the GEDCOM, import it, and then split it into four separate data-bases, or to split them into four before making the GEDCOM files for transport?? Or, perhaps, the real question is, at which point in the import process do (should) I make the four data-bases separate?? And will that be easy to work with, or not, in the PAF system?? I appreciate all this chatting about the PAF, and am saving the entries which seem to be most useful for me, so that I can go back and look them over, as I go along. Thanks for your comments below, and before, and also now!!
