David is right. One file. Then it is simple to split when necessary. You will avoid making entries multiple times, correcting locations, standardizing spellings, etc. Ron Taylor

I'm compiling two family files using Legacy8, one for my family and one for my wife's family. My question is how to "sync" the entries for myself, my wife and our children in both files. Is there a way to avoid entering the data twice? Thanks for your help.
