I, too, think 2.29 is great. The GED export and import was of utmost importance to me since I had to give a GED file to people not using CFTW (poor people!) Nevertheless, the GED now exports and imports without turning people DEAD to/from at least 3 other genealogy programs (so I've been told). Ira: take some time off: you deserve it!! Thanks so much Karen Pastuzyn
