My apologies for not findiing this feature myself. And many thanks for the great information. I may well delete my pseudo people as a result.

I'm a recent convert from TMG. I use hundreds of pseudo-people to capture various situations. In particular, I set up all cemeteries as pseudo people (new person number, etc.).

Thanks for all of your responses. I used direct import into v6. I'll contact Calico Pie directly. Thanks again.

I just tried importing my TMG file using FH v6. This is greatly improved, but I have found a real deal killer - hopefully someone has a solution.
