I have all my data in one database. I found I was getting side tracked with 
syncing with Family Search and working on collateral lines instead of my direct 
lines. I thought I was being smart and exported my direct line ancestors. I 
made some changes and merged the files. I just spent over an hour merging 
duplicates because they were all duplicates LOL

Is there some way that is more efficient than splitting the files? When I look 
at the sync screen, I don’t see anything distinguishing direct lines from 
collateral lines.

How do you handle this? As a retired secretary, when I get a match on Family 
Search and their file has numerous alternate names that are all the same, the 
secretary in me gets involved in just cleaning up the file. I know, as a friend 
of mine says, it’s a personal problem. LOL

Anyway, looking for suggestions that might work for me.
