I need to buy some new software for my tree, currently using a very old FTM programme. My files are stored on an unreliable and slow pc, which I wish to transfer to my 'Windows Vista laptop pc'. Has anyone got advice or tips on the FTM 2010 programme or how to transfer files? I've looked at the Ancestry Site but am still confused. I am a real novice, but have over 2000 entries in my tree. Note: My tree is mostly in Hemel Hempstead Thanks, Ron Ron Howard Hertfordshire Surnames List http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/hertford.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
