Interspersed among the photos were various members of my family. This past weekend, I took several hundred photos of holiday lights in a part at night. I now believe that using FR makes the job of tagging more efficient.

However, over the years, the technology has improved in both speed and accuracy. I was also very adept at selecting and tagging my photos with names of those I wanted to tag and thought I could tag my photos faster manually. I used to think that face recognition was a waste of time since I didn't see the point of looking at a gallery of faces (in the People tab). So, it is perfectly fine for you to just use your own hiearchy of keyword tags to identify the people in your photos. There is no other reason to use the system People tags other than for face recognition. If this doesn't explain your issue, please give us more details about your workflow and the problem. If this is part of your problem, I will give you more details. However, there is a fairly easy way to transfer the tags from one category to another.

Tags are not transferred between catalogues unless you have written the tag information (metadata) to the file, e.g.There is a difference between Keyword tags and System tags (People, Places, Events).Hopefully, the following will give you some explanation of what you are seeing (or not seeing): Why? What is the difference between the two catalogues? Have you been transferring/importing photos from one catalogue to another? What do you mean by missing? Tags do not just disappear from an image for no reason. It is not clear to me what your problem is.
