And I doubt that OOTP15 will make any changes to this system, but you never know.
P.S. For seasons before 1960, there is less need for separate files for white and black first names. Naming practices were pretty much the same for everyone (non-immigrants, that is), except maybe the blacks used Biblical names more often. It really wasn't until the Civil Rights movement of the late fifties and early sixties that blacks made an attempt in earnest to Africanize their names and thus make it worthwhile that they should have their own first name set. The surnames should be separate for any era.

Questdog,
Ah! The way you were using the Modern/Historical was the key to what was confusing me.
Not only do I get game information from you, but historical insite as well!
THANK YOU!
