Hi all, Would anyone know if the latest release of Brothers Keeper (Version 6.4) can be installed on Windows 7 Home Premium system ok? On my XP Home system the fie path is: C:\Program Files\Brothers Keeper6\Data But setting it as that in Windows 7 Home Premium brings up a lot of information boxes, but does not see the data folder? Thanks for any help. Mick.

Thanks It would help if you'd tell us what you'd like to find out. Finding data on living persons? Tracing ancestors? Looking for vital records? If you're just looking for a few specific details, you might ask here and someone with access to a lot of resources might be able to help you.

I use two of them in conjunction to very good effect Ancestry.com's "US public records" often has birth dates (it sometimes has them wrong, but more often then not, they are right). The weakness is that most of the records seem to be from the early 1990s. If you find someone, you can see who else lives at the same address. It also gives the dates when the address was current, and sometimes shows name changes for women who married. Peoplefinders.com is even more useful, and I only use the free portion of the service. It often provides related people, and with a bit of experience, you can usually make an intelligent guess whether they are parents, spouses, or siblings, and you can recognize when the program has conflated unrelated individuals. I would say that I manage to interpret the data correctly more than 95% of the time. It is important to look up all the supposedly related people as a check on your interpretation. If you know the birth date and first name of a woman (but not her married name), it can often find her. I sometimes get a birth date from ancestry's data, and then use Peoplefinders to find out remarriages and related people not living with the person, who I then look up in ancestry, etc., bouncing back and forth, and using the social security index for people who might have died (which often gives the city they lived in when they died) - these public records databases often have people in them who have been dead 20 years or more. I have sometimes been able to reconstruct whole families with multiple marriages by bouncing data-bases against each other, with few errors. This seems to be especially useful in reconstructing on-line trees where most of the information on living people is omitted, if they have a non-living relative that died in the last 20 years, or if the tree provides first name and spouse name. More rarely, I use Zabasearch.com, which has birth month and year, and the date the record was made. The data is more recent than ancestry, and I would be more inclined to use it to try to contact a relative (but I've never done so). I use switchboard.com to look up current addresses and phone numbers for people I want to contact; the public record databases have too many outdated addresses in our highly mobile society. Again, I only use the free services of these sites. lojbab --- Bob LeChevalier - artificial linguist; genealogist lojbab@lojban.org Lojban language www.lojban.org

There are many public record databases on the net. The ones I have tried are basically useless. You often have to pay for the service before you find out it's useless. Anyone recommend a good site where they've had some success stories. Thanks

In their own languages, someone from Lund would be called: "someone from Lund" Only some towns and cities have special names for people who come from there. Lundiak sounds like a Polish name, as I said before. The "iak" part would mean "little". So, for my name, Renia, Reniak would mean "little Renia", but it's not a proper word, just slang or an affectionate term or pet name.

(I missed the > beginning of this thread.) Yes, Renia, U R right. It more like Slavic Surname. And I am no on stage of classifying of possible explanation closer to reality: 1) Lundiak - son of Lund - Slavic (UA, PL, CZ, SV, SL) version 2) Lundiak - person from Lund city - Magyar version 3) Transformation of Scottish Lundian to Lundiak 4) some of possible variation Loondiak ... So, What I want - to research and analyze all variants - to select more closer to reality. And for the current momment all my info is here http://lundiak.blogspot.com/ Trying to get more info about DNA test ....
