I started my research using BK 5.2 and then acquired BK 6.1. In the process of converting from 5.2 to 6.1 I got confused and ended up with both the 5.2 and 6.1 data in the same file. Both seem to work ok but I am wondering if this is a good thing or will I have problems over time. Another question. The pictures I use are located in the My Pictures folder and the Text files are located under My Documents. I noticed that when I set up BK 6.1 and converted my data from 5.2, it set up a Text and Picture folder under the data file folder. There is nothing in these two folders and I am wondering why they were set up by the program. Is this just a suggestion to put the Text and Picture files under these folders?

I am using both BK 5.2 and BK 6.1. Actually I did most of my work in 5.2 and then got 6.1. All of my data is on one large file. Recently I acquired a GEDCOM file from a relative that has information that I don't have. We have 3-4 of the same people on our files but most of the new file are people that I do not have. Is there some way I can combine these two files without having to retype all of the data from one of them into the other? Any help will be appreciated.

My trial subscription to footnote.com has turned up this entry from T289, Organization Index to Pension Files of Veterans Who Served Between 1861 and 1900: Name of Soldier: Doe, John W.; Doe, William (alias); Bryant, John (alias) Service: late rank ---, Co. L, 7 Reg't U. S. Cav. Term of Service: enlisted June 9, 1876; discharged Jan. 29, 1877 Additional Services: Gen. Serv. U.S.A. & I 3 U. S. Inf.; seaman - U.S.S. Marion, Vermont & Independence Remarks: See Navy I. O. 14248 (There are in fact two more entries for him listing General Service and I 3 Infantry as the "Service.") I'm a CMSR newbie, and, as much as I want to exercise my credit card and start the 60-90 day turnaround clock ticking down, I'd like to get a couple of answers first, especially since the NARA FAQ states pretty plainly that I'm going to have to buy at least 3 separate CMSRs. What was "General Service"? (I couldn't cajole Google into giving me much useful) What is a Navy I.O.? (Another Google miss here) Does the liberal use of aliases suggest anything? Perhaps running away from home to join the service (he was born 1859, therefore 17 at the time, and yes, his name really is John Doe)?

I was wondering if sks could do a lookup on a James Lacey, who is seen in the Irish Records Index, 1500-1920? It gives him as James Jnr, a Hotel Keeper. I am chasing a James Lac(e)y from East Clare, Ireland. Many thanks in advance Michelle Australia

But such cases would be rare. Not if they'd had a stroke which can happen even in babies: as happened to my son. He can't read properly, nor comprehend what the words mean, but he can write after a fashion. He has a near photographic memory so knows what the words look like. He's also been taught the order the words go in but that's as far as it goes. He can recognise certain words in a book or on a menu - especially on a menu!! However, he's a 20th century boy, not a 19th century one. Had he been born back then, he'd have ended up in an institution if he was lucky (ish) but would have been regarded as the village idiot otherwise. Same thing could apply to an older person back then who hadn't been taught to read or write in the first place.
