May I make a suggestion for sending the gedcoms to Keith...why not try doing it through ICQ? It's faster than email and probably would bypass anything AOL might mess up. You can download the ICQ program from the following site. Make sure you get the newest version. 98a. http://www.download.com/PC/Result/TitleDetail/0,4,0-19877-g,1000.html?bt.mir ab.l2.g19877.cat37 Do you have ICQ, Keith? If you don't, it will really speed up your receiving rate. You just both have to be online at the same time. And then it also won't jam up your email if you ever run into that problem. It's my preferred way to receive attachments. Take care and God bless, Junelle L. McClintic http://www.bigfoot.com/~sweetamiga May you feel the blessings of God's love today and always!
