When I speak of duplicates, I am meaning having the same p-erson(s) in two projects or two data sets. In on data set or project the person would primarily be a "holding" person in order to complete various reports. For example, if I were to split my project, I would split it between my family and my wife's family. In my family, I would include the basic information for my wife and her parents. I might include her family's direct line back (again only basic data). Similarly for my wife's family, I would include myself and my parents basic information (and again possibly my direct line back (basic data only). As noted, the duplications would be only basic data -- just enough to create charts and reports focused on our children to be somewhat complete. If I needed more at any time, I could create a temporary project just for that purpose. Having just basic data be with the "duplicate" persons would decrease the amount of redundant data entry/editing that would meed to be done. For the most part, there would not be a lot of redundancy as my, my wife, and our parents' data would not change that much. Lee
