I just manually entered the Capwell number. The FTM has its own numbering
system. That in itself is kind of fun. I have over 10,000 names in my
database. AS I hit a milestone it was fun to see it happen.
AS for duplicate information, FTM has a source line for each item or person
you put in. I always source my records and am a little picky on who's stuff
I might add. I got hurt in the beginning like the other writer said. I
took for gospel some info that sent me down the wrong path on the Hughes
Line.
Info I received from my grandfather sometimes started at a second spouse and
listed all children still living in the home as natural children. Of course
that was not the case. It took a good bit of digging and lots of emails
from other researchers' telling me I was wrong. AS it turned out, I had
half the info and they had half.
Twelve years ago, a lot of people I encountered were like me, just name and
date gathering. Then I happened on a for real genealogist. He was the
sweet kind, that wanted to put me on the road to family history work, and
not list gathering. He took the time to point errors in my work and show me
how to fix them.

You say you used the numbering system from the Capwell book for your
Capwells. I don't understand enough about that. Are there options available
in the program for numbering or did you just copy the numbers by their
names?
I like this idea and would like to use it also.
