Changed the word "document" to "record" in the question title.

Her article begins, "A long time ago in a kingdom far away there lived a maiden ..." ftp.rootsweb.ancestry.com/pub/review/20030827.txt | |

| Oct 13, 2012 at 15:32 | comment | added | GeneJ | Because you refer to the problem as being able to distinguish between people in your names "list," it seems likely your question is software specific. Personal experience indicates that genealogical software features vary greatly as to lists and sorting options. Assuming your question is software specific, then your question would be more valuable if you include the software and version number. | |
