I agree. When I do import I create a source for the GEDCOM like "GEDCOM Import from..." and source all incoming fields using that. I also keep the original GEDCOM around because I usually don't import sources from a GEDCOM (because I haven't sourced them myself) ... that way I can look back at the original GEDCOM for clues if need be. To be honest with you, I rarely import other people's GEDCOMs anymore ... that was something I did as a newbie. I've often thought about deleting some of this imported stuff but I am getting lazy in my old age. ;-) -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools NOTE TO LUG USERS: Use plain text if you want me to read your post.
