Ron: Yours sounds like a good method too. Is your one-name database included with your main database or is it a separate file?
I'm prompted to look at my stray files regularly because there are several people working on the same line so I get frequent messages like, "Here's what I found on . . ." or "What do you have on . . ." That keeps the strays from getting stale. Our research area is also limited to Ontario, Canada, 1783-1880, so that keeps the stray list down to a very manageable size--although we do have about 2,000 individuals connected to the main tree.

I found that I just never got round to looking in it. If it works for you, then great, as you know I am a great beliver in each to their own. My salvation arrived, at least for my primary surname when I started my One-Name database, which originally started with all the oddments which I had not looked at for years. I found it to be an operation which is excellent for forcing me to do something with them. Guess I must enjoy pressure!
