Hi Betsy Arrington-Tsao: Thanks for responding to my earlier message on the subject matter. Per your suggestion, I went to the familytreemaker reference you sent and found a CLOUD descent chart that looked awful familiar; it even included our children. I assume that someone whom we gave a GEDCOM file regarding our Cloud line research, submitted the data to the familytreemaker database. Thank goodness, they omitted birth and marriage data on living persons. I tried to print some of the information shown on the familytreemaker chart for your family line, but found the page format to be too wide for normal letter size printing. Somewhat the same problem as I created a few years ago when I uploaded some of my Cloud-King data to the Internet at: > <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt"> > ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt</A> I don't have much time just now to work on genealogy, but will try to reset my > >> printer to "landscape format" and see if the data is more easily >> readable. >> >> The CLOUD data posted at the above referenced Internet address gives a >> summary of the key data that I collected on my Cloud line.
