Yes, many. I have a system that I've been using in my FTW software for over 10 years. FTW handles up to 99 children. I am researching all of my ancestral surnames. Many of the same surname people I discover are not yet documented as being a member of my ancestral lines. So, I put them under a patriarch named: "00 not yet my Arens" (without quotes). He then has sons named: 001-100 (etc) not yet my Arens. In my Arens line I have about 3,000 of these Arens people. Each of my many other ancestral surnames are handled the same way. I keep all my records in the same file so that when I do add a connected ancestor, the program often finds the previously 'not yet' person match within the program so I can 'fix relationships' and thereby connect the appropriate previously 'not yet' wives, children, descendants, ancestors, etc. Some of my 'not yet' Arens lines are over 5 generations long. I have over 70,000 individuals in this same file. When doing reports it's convenient to have all 'not yet' people readily identifiable.
When I imported the FTW generated GEDCOM file into Legacy 7 Deluxe, it disconnected all children beyond 60. So now, in Legacy, I have these many family lines floating around without a 'head'. I've tried to think of ways to 'round them up' so I can create '061-100' etc. fathers. I've tried going through PAF, which handles more than 60 children, .... no help there. If someone has developed a better system for accomplishing this, I would greatly appreciate the help. my current home page: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/r/e/Robert-Arens-MN/index.html#edit On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 11:56 PM, John S.
