single name study for a surname within the St. Louis area. Is it easier
to build a different data file, and then merge the two later, once the
proof of the relationships is discovered, or is it better to just keep
all the data in one database, as unrelated individuals? >>

I have a tag called Relation. I generally use it to link relationships not
covered by TMG e.g. grandparents/grandchildren. I do this so I can show a
source and surety for the relationship to support any addl conclusions I
derive from the relationship. But I also use this to link suspected or
possible connections. I change the sentence to reflect why I think the
relationship exists.
