Pa. Kath, I just wanted to comment on your FTM 5 situation.....can you not export a GEDCOM? I understood that FTM could do that, in a number of different GEDCOM formats. That's the purpose of creating a GEDCOM file.....so that someone else can import it who has different software. Some data fails to make the jump....for more on that, see <http://www.gentech.org>. Still that's better than re-typing *everything.* I hope everyone remembers -- this is nothing personal about Kath, or anyone else, but NEVER just import someone else's GEDCOM into your personal database. For that matter, don't take anyone else's research for granted, at all! Check out the sources, and see if they check out. If there aren't any sources, you'll have to use the information as merely clues. Try to prove their research *wrong.* If you can't.....then you can accept it as the best answer *for now.* Remember....there's always more to know, more sources to check, other possibilities to consider. That's what keeps it all so exciting! All the best, Valorie
