Hi Lynda, I have FTM 2014, which I don't think is much different from the version you have. I must confess I don't use it much as yet, as I really can't get my head around it compared to the ease of using the older version (2005). I think it's just me though - I still have the alternative so the incentive to learn the new one just isn't there! However - I think you will find what you're looking for if you click on the 'Publish' button on the top bar. If that's not there & you don't get a solution from the list, can I suggest that you join the FTM-Help e-mail list. They are a great bunch and very helpful. You can go into much more detail and as with all these lists, if you just follow it, you discover all sorts of useful stuff you might not have realised you could do with FTM. They cover all versions, not just the latest. Just google 'FTM-help rootsweb list' (without quotes) and you should find it easily.

Interesting to hear about people's questions and experience with various programmes. I have used FTM for years and installed the 2012 version on my laptop, leaving the older one on my desktop. When I changed computers recently I installed the 2012 version on the desktop too. Now I find that it doesn't seem to display the traditional dropdown tree or 'pedigree', with the descendants or ancestors lined up across the pages according to their generation. Am I doing something wrong or does this facility no longer exist? I want to be able to print out trees or mini-trees for various relatives, and now I can't. I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Hi Richard As you may be aware Personal Ancestral File (PAF) is an older version of Ancestral Quest (AQ). The two are compatible and AQ is now offering support for former PAF users. My understanding is that the facility to "tag" notes in the way you have done is unique to PAF/older versions of AQ. Other programs including the current version of AQ achieve the same result by allowing notes, citations and images to be attached to facts as discrete items. In Family Tree Maker (FTM), for example, you can attach a note to an individual, to a fact and to a source. I migrated from PAF to AQ and then to FTM and had used note tags for occupation and address in PAF. These did transfer to the individual's note section in AQ and from there to FTM with spacing between each piece of text though the actual "tag" functionality was lost on the first transfer. However, I've been deleting these notes ever since as it is so much better adding facts to the individual's record for occupation, residence etc. with their own notes and images attached. As an aside, I did find a big problem with images attached to sources. In PAF and AQ you can add only a single image to a source (e.g. an image of a census return) but unless you have a unique citation for each fact all the images get bundled together behind the scenes. To all intents and purposes it is a hidden problem that I did not discover until I tried to print out a book report with Images from AQ. The support people for AQ asked for a copy of my data so that they could identify the problem and then proceeded to ignore me in spite of numerous reminders hence I switched to FTM. The Ancestry people were very up front about the problems I would face in transferring my data pointing out, without prompting, that the difference in database design would cause an issue especially with regard to images. No doubt it would have been possible to get a script written to put things in the right places but I decided to take the bull by the horns and review all my citations manually,! it is taking for ever but I am spotting a lot of errors in the process.

Richard, I have no experience of PAF but for what it is worth the following may help. I have been trying Roots Magic and imported a Gedcom file into it from Family Tree Maker. Some of my Notes items are quite complex but they all appeared in Roots Magic in exact;y the same format as they did in FTM. Eric Millward ----- No virus found in this message.

Yes David: a lordship was an area of land. Under the fuedal system, a barony could be split in to Lordships via enfeoffment.

Hi All, Alan (Allen/Allan/etc.) CRAGG was bap 3 May 1801 at Carrington, Cheshire, son of Allen and Martha. I have a possible for him as a servant in 1841. In 1851 he is living at Stenhills, Runcorn, Cheshire, England with his sister Martha Hankinson and her husband John. Both men are blacksmiths. I have a probable death for him in 1864 in Runcorn. But I can't find him in 1861. He isn't living with Martha. Can anyone find him in 1861? Any information greatly appreciated. Christine P.S. There is a younger Alan CRAGG, also a blacksmith married to Sarah with a daughter Mary who I confused with him for a while but they are two different people.

Hi Sarah, There appears to be some confusion about the place Lordship. This is a bit of a red herring to me as it was not the focus of my research. It was to explain that the two spouses lived in the same area. Anyway I have done some research overnight and it seems that there are at least two places called Lordship in Cheshire. Family Search has a wonderful tool at http://maps.familysearch.org/ which was very useful. It gives three places in Cheshire - Frodsham, Weaverham and Witton. I am assuming that the latter two are merely hamlets and may not show up on a map. I am wondering whether Lordship in Weaverham and Witton are actually the same place. What I am able to surmise is that the Lordship that is of interest to me is in the vicinity of Lostock Gralam as Lostock and Lordship appeared to be used interchangeably for some baptismal records for the same family. As the records relate to the parish of Witton this seems to be the most likely location. What I am trying to establish is whether Mary STUBBS (maiden name BROOM )who married Richard NIELD is the same Mary STUBBS widow of Mathew STUBBS formally married to an Unknown WARBURTON. So I am looking for a marriage of a Mary BROOM to a gentleman by the name of WARBURTON. I know it is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack and the fact that one Mary STUBBS from Lordship was widowed and a widow by the name of Mary STUBBS married shortly thereafter to a man who lived in Lordship may just be a co-incidence. I was however trying to narrow down the list of suspects by identifying the place name Harlington and I am now certain that this is Haslington.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help me or tell me whether I am on the right track. I am researching my STUBBS family and I have a Matthew STUBBS who marries a widow by the name of Mary WARBURTON in 1764 at Witton. Matthew STUBBS dies in 1775. In 1777 a Mary STUBBS marries a Richard NIELD. It is easy to assume that this Mary is the widow of Matthew especially as both Matthew and Richard lived at a place called Lordship. I am keen to confirm this as well as the maiden name of Mary who married Matthew STUBBS. Mary who married Richard NIELD appears to be the daughter of Hugh and Martha BROOM who resided at a place called Harlington which I have been unable to locate. So I am looking for a marriage of a Mary BROOM to a WARBURTON. I can't find one and don't know where to look. I did find a Mary BROWN who I thought looked promising and I found a Thomas WARBURTON who died in 1764 but this Thomas appears to have died before Mary WARBURTON married Matthew. Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated. Regards, Christine
