Jean, I was able to open the new one that you sent out.  Have just spent the last 2 hrs making cookies and reading this.  This gives me more background of places mom talked about.  Also a little reference to the Livingstons, Ware, and Dixon's that I need to find the connections for. Thanks againfor sharing and let me wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.

I figured that perhaps it was a newer system which would be more updated to match other peoples' stuff, so did.  Appararently, I need to not be saving to .odt, until I figure out what it is! :) Blessings, Jean At 06:19 AM 12/24/2013, you wrote: >Sorry, from the sound of the message, I thought you had tried to send to the List.  Beg pardon ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ARIZARD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
