I have never used this feature, but will again. However, I find something very odd. For my largest project, it says I have only 7124 persons but that I have over 19000 witnesses. I really don't use witnesses very often, partly because they do not show up in my GEDCOM reports.Are there some other ways that TMG counts people as witnesses other than my placing them in that witness box?

The problem is that you are not understanding the difference between witnesses and Witnesses. In TMG, anyone attached to an event Tag as either a Principal or as a Witness is a witness. So, before TMG added the Witnesses feature, there were witnesses (Principals attached to event Tags). Likely your 19000 Witnesses goes generally something like this: 6000 Birth 4000 Marriages (2000 Tags each with two Principals) 5000 Deaths 4000 other event Tag witnesses Note that this is just a general idea. Most data sets don't have a Birth or Death Tag for each person and usually, we know more births than deaths. Also not everyone is married, so there would not be half as many marriages and there are persons. As for not using Witnesses, while GEDCOM does not normally use them, I find that a poor excuse to not using the feature as it gives me a lot of help. Now, TMG _can_ include most of that information using the Enhanced GEDCOM feature in v9.05. Of course, that information _may_not_ import into any genealogy program. But good programs will produce an "error" report on import which will show the information that did not meet the importing programs GEDCOM expectations. This can then be used to add the information to the imported data in whatever way that program can accept. Lee
