I've been given a copy of a photo of this motley crew with a view to trying to decide whether someone could be in it. It's only 380k so it may not be of good enough quality to upload. I would guess that it dates from the mid to late 1930's. Does anyone know what the age range would have been for Girl Guides around this period? Regards, Allan Halstead

Hello Listers, Today's visit to the OPC website has found the following databases added to it: http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/indexw.html 1 May 2011 Marriages 1754 to 1763 and Burials 1813 to 1899 from the Church of St Bartholomew, Colne Baptisms 1897 to 1900 from the Church of the Holy Trinity, Colne 30 April 2011 Baptisms 1610 to 1674 from All Saints, in the district of Childwall, Liverpool Baptisms 1886 to 1907 from the Church of St Clement, in the District of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester Baptisms 1889 to 1894 from the Church of St Ambrose (later with All Saints), in the district of Everton, Liverpool Baptisms 1754 to 1765 and 1839 from the Church of St Peter, Liverpool Marriages 1904 to 1914 from the Church of St Chrysostom, Rusholme, Manchester Regards, Sally

Thank you Maxine & Stuart for your responses. The main thing that appeals to me about the Branches genealogy software is that it shows your whole tree in one window. You can easily zoom in to / out from any item - including photos & documents - just as you would on Google Earth. Also you can search by name, &/or by place, &/or by a word within the notes - so for example you could find every Mary who is connected to Bolton who was a spinner. Look here to see what I mean: www.branchesgenealogy.com/features www.branchesgenealogy.com/tutorials There has to be a downside at this price ($14.95, abt £9) and it's that, according to one review, its GEDCOM file creation is "imprecise" and it isn't big on charts & reports. Stuart's advice seems sound so I'll probably go down that route. To answer Maxine's query about FTM2011 - the pedigree/descendant charts seem to be about the same width. However, for anyone who doesn't have a current Ancestry subscription, upgrading to FTM2011 Platinum seems to be a good deal at the moment - you can get the software and a 6-month Ancestry subscription for £30 if you shop around. Regards, Allan

All family tree software will export a GEDCOM file. Why not just define one program as the "master" and ALWAYS do all updates on that. Periodically export the whole database as a GEDCOM and import it into the second program. I do this on my MAC using Reunion 9 as the master and MacFamilyTree as the second as some of the reports are slightly different. So long as I know that Reunion is the definitive data source then I can do what I like with the data in MacFamilyTree as I know I can easily rebuild it in seconds by just importing a new GEDCOM from Reunion. I used to do this on a PC too, using PAF as my master and an old version of FTM for doing the odd report that PAF could not do.

>Hi Allen, Why would you keep up both programs? I have my Family Tree Maker on my old desk top and have transferred it to my new lap top....but I like using it on the old pc so now when I make an entry, I need to make sure I enter it on both computers. Guess it is no hassle if you are organized and never forget to enter everything both places...but it makes me crazy. Also, a question to you....does the FTM 2011 make better pedigree charts than the old program...? When I make a descendant chart on the one I have I need to tape it together and it is so wide, it is almost useless...It is several years old and I just wondered if they've improved that.

Sorry for this being off the Bolton topic but I'd rather ask people that I trust..... After reading Dick Eastman's EOGN genealogy blog about the Branches genealogy software I've been watching the tutorials and it looks like fantastic value for money at about £9 for a graphical family tree representation. I currently use Family Tree Maker 2011 Platinum. Would it be too much hassle to try to keep two databases in step? Does anyone in their right mind do that? Allan Halstead.
