Teresa, I have been adding the text files as an exhibit. This does not get
all of the children into TMG. A lot of these ancestors had 20- 30 kids and
time wise I haven't been able to get the kids into TMG.

One of my duties is to provide lineage files to new members and answer
research questions from members. This has meant searching the text files
looking for connections. That is why I just want to get all the names and
basics into TMG to make the searching easier.

Thanks for your input. A Text tag might be a better way since I could add
witness's.
