Peter and Elizabeth,

You states "What I wanted was to take the root level of 2 different trees and
have the program tell me where any connections
may occur between them."

The programs I use "Family Origin Program" checks to see if a duplication of a
person's name is occuring - at the same time this is checking the connection to
other parts of other families as well. This is done through entry time or
through a "check connection" part of the family - Is this what you wanted?

Cheers---
