Very good points to really consider! With a workflow, is it that difficult to repeat the same process on a 4 or 6 month import??? In Ancestry Online, I still have a vast amount of photos and data to transfer from my 10 year old tree to my new tree. It SEEMS FTM holds the citation material and photos...

Mike,
Thank you SO MUCH for that!
Yes one way FTM==> FH(Control Center)==> TNG.

Any new material gets a new import 1 way.
Ancestry is only for research. Cleanup in FH. TNG is for the Outerweb.
Thanks again, looking forward at your pace,
Jeff

Hi Mike ! I looked thru the KB on creating a query, i dont see a place to just cut and paste the queries you were kind enough to create. as well, are we talking 1 whole query, or 2 separate queries? if i cant cut and paste, to what sections do i add each variable? The query is a little different tha...

Hi Mike!
