How many people do you have in this one-name study and what are your
computer specs? I agree with John Cardinal and others that it is not
worth it. Having the people in separate data sets within one project
will not increasespeed and having them in separate projects will make
combining more
difficult.

I would set a different flag, say the surname, for each line etc to mark
each of the lines. Then use a LoP to create a new project OneNameStudy
with Fairhall = Y and data set name Fairhall; then another LoP to create
Fairehall data set in OneNameProject etc.
