Well greetings again. Have you started your first 6 generations yet? I have removed all the reference numbers in my FTM 5.0 file and have been renumbering them to be the same as O'Gorman numbers. I have the generation 1 through 5 numbered and was wondering if you wanted a GEDCOM file of them to check while I number generation 6 and 7. I may have typed in the first 8 generations (just names birth and death dates) enough to try to get some relatives linked up in the lists when I find where they connect. I am willing to send out, or have reside where ever, the GEDCOM file for the first 8 generations if it can be checked and put somewhere.
