Hi Adrian,
You're right the number of records is not a problem as it seems. Besides
Dale has sent to me privately an excerpt of the Gramps Wiki where
someone claims he has imported a database of far more than 1 million
people with success. It's really impressive.
As to me, I meant people records for individual records, but my main
concern is rather how the latest version of Gramps fares on a Macintosh,
considering also that the platform and the system I'm using are a bit
outdated.
Regards,
Alain Pastor
