I am not sure. I will be going over the material in detail over the next week
or so. The problem for me is that I cannot identify with just raw names and
get a cohesive picture. Until I can place and visualize them as their own
unique entities, I get confused with the myriads of the same names. I think
this just takes time and a first hand knowledge of the families--such as
meeting your own cousins at a reunion and learning the identities of each
parts of the family.

No one said this would be easy -- and it is not -- for people that cannot
spend full time efforts trying to remember who is who. Sometimes I envy
Todd's obviously superb memory. I have a photographic memory as well, but I
ran out of film. ; > )
