I had done exactly as you described in in the organize family's page. But it just wasn't to me the best way to go. I export my gedcom's from RootsMagic and with all the data entry and edit's I have been doing in RM, it became more work than I wanted at the time. But I am forever the optimist and know we will be there as soon as you are comfortable with the base code. Herb... Louis,

My usual recommendation when Behold doesn't organize on the "correct" person. was to change the families the way you wanted on the Organize Families Page, and then save it as a Behold file. From then on, just open the Behold file and that (as well as any other custom settings you might want to save) would be available every time you opened it. And it's not just you. You should hear my family (wife and kids). They are also of the opinion that they might not live to see it either. After all, how long do I need to get to version 1? Alas, I wish it were that easy. But I'm getting there. The tortoise shall win! Louis Herb,

It has been a real unpleasant tool at times. It always wanted to default to my sister, thereby leaving my line through our father completely out of the linage. I have fought this function so many times and was blaming myself for not being able to grasp why it was performing in such an erratic manner. This is not a slam as I do like your vision and am looking to version 2 rather than version1. There are times when I think I may not live to see it in a really editable format. But then I'm crowding 77 so it's just me. Herb... Louis,
