Thanks Jenny, Bobby, and Mike, for the suggestions. I haven't been using the UserID field for anything so I think I'll use it. It appears on the name list and I can search for it.
Bobby and Mike, your idea of a custom event has the advantage of being able to add additional information as to why the person is flagged and I could make the event private. I have details in the notes now and would need to move them. I also thought about adding a To Do List entry in a category "Don't Worry", but I think I'll keep it simple and just use the UserID. On the subject of tags: I use 5 permanently to mark the 5 direct lines in my family file - mine, my husband's, my ex-husband's and my son's wife and his former wife. We all have common ancestors and that shows up in the name list....well at least 3 tags do. I use the other five for on-going projects. Once a project is complete, the tag is free. I'm making slow progress on the projects because of the "shiny object syndrome" - I tend to go after the next new thing. So my tags aren't available. Tags would probably work for most people. Off to make some UserID entries. Thanks again, Marnie On 12/16/2014 10:48 AM, Marnie Oakes wrote: > My family file has 9,000+ individuals.
