You meant 1 Million right? If you're interested, you can install PAF in Wine, so that you don't have to run (unsafe) XP. It's not as fast as gedviewer lite, but a test here reveals that it can import 1 Million persons in about 11 minutes. I used PAF before Gramps, and still like it, because of its clear interface. One thing that I still like in PAF is that its advanced filters allow me to easily select and export all sorts of subtrees for inclusion in my Gramps database. regards, Enno |
