I have my family tree information all stored on a very old programme called 'Personal roots Deluxe' by Expert software. Returning to my family history after a break I have a new computer and when I went to load the programme and transfer all the date over the Cd for the programme will not load. The reason is obvious that the new computer is XP and the old 98. The software was distributed to run with windows 95. I have searched the internet for an alternative programme. I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions. To get the data off my old computer is going to take forever if I can't load the programme. Any advice would be welcomed. Kind regards Vicky

Hi All, I really can't see what all the fuss is about, If you think that the cause of death may upset people, don't post it. Anyone that is truly interested can always ask the poster what the cod was, and then its down to them isnt it ? None of us come on to these lists expecting to find our ancestors as shiny happy people that all died peacefully in their sleep do we ?

I totally agree with everything you've said. I don't agree with Tony that we've become desensitised either. It's my belief that we are more aware of the falability and fragility of the human race. If we've de- anything, we've desantised the past. It wasn't all cushy and sweet. The country idyll, for the majority, was anything but. Our ancestors were human. They made mistakes. They lived, they struggled, they loved, they fought and they died - and they took death more in their stride than we do today. I'm not saying for one moment that a mother losing her newborn baby just shrugged her shoulders and got on with making the next one. She would have weeped and wailed. Her husband would have comforted her - and then they would have got on with life. They didn't have time to do anything else nor could they afford to. It wasn't all bleak and a hand to mouth struggle to survive for everyone either. People were hung or transported for, for what seems to us, trivial things (stealing a handkerchief or a loaf of bread) but that was the law of the land. There was a time when Australians were ashamed to have a convict in their family but now they are proud of that (if I've got that wrong, I'm sure our Australian members will correct me :)) ). Those who were transported often made good in their new land. Life happened and as genealogists and family historians we are more aware of that than much of the population.

Yes, well, it will happen to them, just like it did their ancestors. No one lives for ever, although we are living longer now than our ancestors. There was a time when getting to 50 or 60 was a great age. Nowadays, if we see/hear of someone dying at that age, it's more a case of s/he died young. Let's face it, we're born to die!

Forgot to add this to my earlier reply, but there's also an element of reminding people of their own mortality. If it's happened to their ancestors then there's the "then it can happen to me" aspect, particularly with hereditary conditions. We as genealogists are somewhat desensitised to it from looking at so many death records I guess.

Surely if you explain to family members that they will get the whole package, warts and all they should be adult enough to make the decision for themselves. I come from Leigh on Sea and my family were fishermen. dozens of them were drowned. If people are going to get squeamish about how someone dies what will they be like when you tell reveal the embarrassing stuff. I had some family members in USA who emailed me for information on their grand mother who was born in England. I asked them if they wanted all the details and they said yes. I sent them a copy of her birth certificate and they replied saying thank you very much but why is the surname the same as her mothers and no father listed. Well................ They never contacted me again, but as I said earlier, if you're not prepared for the worst, don't do it.

I agree with all David's succinct submission. I would add that at this time for 7 stirling pounds(no symbol in reply) even us foreigners in Aust can access any details of any GRO available certificate. All that most on this site appear to be discussing is whether these gory details ( which are reality) are worth 7 pounds or whether volunteer sites (such as ours) can do for some a free access of such horrendous real fact, which others pay for. However the world news process and Google etc now can tell you all that --and lots more of doubtful truth!!!! So I say If one wants to submit data re BMD they should do so with no restrictions, just as they do with census and other bits of real history.

Just because other family members don't have interest in researching their tree doesn't mean they would want to know how ancestors died... I'm the only genealogist in my family, the rest of the family have no interest in knowing everything. In fact I've found that one of my grandfather's aunts drowned on her way to school, which explains why his father was paranoid about letting them play by any bodies of water. I'm sure he would not want to be reminded of this, so I've not done so.

Part of the problem is that you don't study genealogy in isolation. You share what you find with family, well, I do anyway. You might get two people of an older generation, one takes it all in their stride a piece of information, whether manner of death, prison sentence etc, and the other gets really upset. It's a lot to do with the individual. I can see both sides of the 'debate'. I don't think we'll ever agree across the board. Perhaps we should just accept that. This originally started with the suggestion of posting details of death certificates. Maybe the cause of death could be withheld from the posting if it wasn't a 'natural', straightforward death, with a request to email the poster for specifics. Or just order the DC if it's one of your own.

It's quite simple really, some relatives say, oh how interesting that you are doing this, yes please give us the information, but when they receive the information. . . it becomes difficult.

Hi all Oh, I get it now. (I think.) When you're on the registration page the login is what you would like your Login to be. Type that in, submit, and that should be okay. That's all I did, and I can get into it fine. I didn't fiddle with Tools or privacy or anything.
