Wow, must have been a shock but I'm sure it's more common than you think! In terms of mapping your family, this is my suggestion. It's not very elegant, but I reckon it works. Might be worth putting

Hi all - So, a week ago as part of starting my family tree I learned I was donor conceived, at the ripe old age of 31. Bit of a shock to the system, but the positive is I have even more family to map

Sandra, Some tips regarding splitter versus lumped Source Templates. Method 1 Splitter Source Templates The default template definitions mostly use this method. One exception is the Civil

Thank you very much. This is very helpful. I have read that sentence about one CR record per source record, without really understanding it. Similarly, I have read the lumping and splitting

Sandra, this conversation would be easier on the FHUG forums, but then we’d end up conversing on Facebook, here and on the forums, so I suggest we stay here unless you prefer otherwise. Before
