I don't know how far along you are, but I would've started with the smaller file, so if you run into things that need to be fixed or you fix things and then decide your really wanted it a different way for reporting, etc., it's not such a big job. Or, like when I converted from FTM to Legacy, if there's a bug in the GEDCOM load, it's not so much to clean up. (On that note, tho, there is a man on this list who has an application, LTools, that can do some snazzy data manimpulations... so if you run into issues, be sure to post here.) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

In other words, set up TAG # 4 (or whatever) to indicate a record you have already looked at and completed. Then as you go through the name index and see that TAG # 4 has an X in it, you will know that's done. When all the records have that TAG # 4, you know you've been through everything at least once. Just a thought that might help you tackle the project.
