I read your message and decided that I do not have to tell you that you misinterpreted the name of this mailing list. You are not the first that has done this. But Maybe I can help you anyway.

I sure hope you all think this story is funny....I am new to the genealogy field..Here I am 64 and didn't much care where I came from when I was younger... any way, a couple of weeks into tracing my family, I discovered Rootsweb., then I found their mailing list catagory.. Now with my new-found interest in my family, I found I was very much interested in how names came to be what they are now.. for instance, most evidence points to the fact that my surname of Jay has undergone several changes...most of them before departing for American shores..but even here it was changed from Joy to Jay.I havn't been satisfied about the "cutesy, maybe this is the reason" answers I've found so far. AS my search widened, the more curious I got and I started searching for info on the basic origin of surnames and what they originally meant..most of the leads I followed ended in someone wanting to sell me the information on a fancy scroll or to send me a copy of my so-called Coat of Arms(spelling?)..while at the same time stating somewhere that this is not to be taken as absolute proof that the information is the right information... WELL, I can do that much on my own by searching the internet and have the fun of discovery. Maybe you are all ahead of me already!!! So, I was looking for groups that study and discuss and maybe share information on Family Origins!!!!!! With me yet??? I find this group called FAMILY-ORIGINS and I think, BINGO, just the group I'm looking for and so I subscribe..but I subscribe to the digest and my computer picks up all the messages as attachments and wipes them out..so I don't get an introductory letter, maybe I would have realized and maybe my brain just needed time to work around the obvious...I even admit that the term USERS should have given me a clue..but in my persuit of a goal, I sometimes "jump" before I "reason". So, here goes. I don't use Family Origins...I have no doubt that it is great software and I may even invest in it when I can...I even admit that the price is very reasonable but not for me right now. The Family Tree software I'm using now happens to belong to my brother. He brought it to me when he decided that I had much more time to do the reaearch than he did. I also have the Ancestry.com free version and I may wind up using it and filing out my brothers forms on the other, mainly because I don't want to be completely dependant and left empty when said brother wants his software back. So, after making such a fuss about my not getting through so I could start getting the posts and after so many people sending me emails advising me what to do,( I hope I sent a Thank You note to everyone, if I missed someone, please forgive, as you can see, my brain doesn't always fire on all cylinders) I guess that I don't really belong on this list..and I was so looking forward to finding out the "real" origins of all those family names.

How do we backup onto a CD or send a gedcom to another computor i'm using fo-10

I am pretty sure FO was one of the first programs to allow a note for each fact. There are still major programs which don't allow this. Then the follow-through on the way the facts are used in the book report. Your report is really only limited by the number of facts you can find and enter. Alot of people complain about the mechanical sentences, but the truth of the matter is, when you are doing a book about a couple of hundred people, your sentences get a bit mechanical--might as well let a machine do it. I once went to a lecture about publishing a genealogy book and I remember the exhaustive, and exhausting, description of the details necessary just to make an index by hand. Bruce might not have been the originator of the idea of an index, but FO does it well. The other thing I like is the consistent use of short cut keys. A lot of other programs do not follow through to nearly every action with these. I sort of resent the lack of details on Rootsmate. Is it going to have the details I like or not? Since it sounds like our favorite program is being dropped, do we have to start looking for a replacement or not?

(soapbox alert) For the first time in many months, I just now generated a couple of new Web pages (descendancy and ascendancy charts) and uploaded them to my ISP's Web server. This was with FO 10.0. All went well. But in checking out the new Web pages after uploading them, I was reminded of an old complaint I have about HTML, and the HTML generated by FO *optionally* can have this problem if you so choose. You can optionally tell FO to include a mailing address and/or an E-mail address. If you include an E-mail address, FO sets up an HTML mailto tag to enable a user who is browsing your page to contact you conveniently via E-mail with one click E-mailing. And when I made my new Web pages just now, I included the E-mail address option. Sounds pretty neat! What could be better than one click E-mailing? Actually, I think it's terrible. I think this all goes back to 1981 or 1982 when IBM introduced the personal computer, with emphasis in "personal". Ever since then, many software designers have implicitly assumed that their software would be used on a "personal" computer, meaning a computer which is used by just one person, and where that person doesn't use any other computer. So they were assuming a one-to-one relationship between users of "personal" computers and the "personal" computers themselves. In reality, in many cases the relationship is many-to-many rather than one-to-one. For example, I regularly use three PC's (one to many). Fortunately, only one of the three is regularly shared (with my kids, as it turns out), which is a many-to-one relationship. What does that have to do with the mailto tag and one click E-mailing? Well, just about everything. Microsoft is one of the worst offenders in the "assume one-to-one" game. DOS was terrible in this regard, as was Windows 3.1. Windows/95 and Windows/98 were only slightly better. Windows/2000 and Windows/XP are starting to get a lot better, but we've got a ways to go. Here's the practical implications of this. Windows supports an interface called MAPI which programs can use to send E-mail. But MAPI assumes that you have set up an E-mail account with an E-mail address and a server that it can use. Suppose I do so, and then one of my kids uses the machine, goes to a Web page, and clicks on "Send me mail" or "contact me" or some such. There will be a mailto tag in the HTML, the browser will use MAPI to send an E-mail, and the E-mail will look like it came from me rather than from my kids. This is a Bad Thing. Conversely, suppose somebody in a computer lab in a school, or somebody on a computer in a public library, or some other public place, browses to a Web page, clicks on "Send me mail" or "contact me" or some such. It either will not work because an E-mail account that MAPI can use has not been set up (this is bad), or it will work because somebody (possibly a previous user of the same machine) has set up an account and you will be using their E-mail account (this is even worse). The fundamental underlying problem is that Microsoft in implementing MAPI is implicitly assuming a one-to-one relationship between users and machines. I don't know as much about the details of the mailto tag if a user is browsing a Web page on a UNIX machine or on a Mac, but it's the same basic problem. Everything is probably fine if the usage of the machine is one-to-one between the user of the machine and the machine itself. But if the usage of the machine is one-to-many or many-to-one or many-to-many, various disasters can befall. When I first started implementing my own Web pages, I used the mailto tag without hesitation. But since I realized the problem, I have used the mailto tag very rarely. And when I do, I always make sure that the actual E-mail address appears in plain text so that the user can copy and paste it into their E-mail program if necessary. The convenient one click E-mail button provided on Web pages created by FO 10.0 does not display the E-mail address at all. My best recollection is that FO 9.x did display the E-mail address. What I did just now to make myself happy with my own FO 10.0 Web pages was to regenerate them without an E-mail address, so the convenient one click button with the mailto tag doesn't appear. I then put my E-mail address as plain text as an extra line on my (postal) mailing address. One more point about this dead horse, a lot of standard E-mail systems that people use (Outlook Express, etc.) will work with mailto tags, assuming an account has been set up, assuming you are not worried about your kids sending E-mail that looks like it comes from you, assuming you are not browsing in a public library, and all the other caveats above. But I can't think of a single case (I could be wrong about this) where a mailto tag will work with a Web based browser such as Hotmail or Yahoo or Juno or Webmail or anything like that. For example, if you click on a mailto tag the browser will not go to your Hotmail account for you to send the E-mail. I don't know if the mailto tag works on AOL (probably does) or on OWA (Outlook Web Access) which is Microsoft's implementation of a Web based E-mail that looks like Outlook (probably doesn't). So even if you ignore the many-to-many problem, mailto tags in HTML are not going to work for lots and lots of users. So I don't think this E-mail address feature of HTML which is generated by Family Origins is a very good thing, especially since it doesn't display the E-mail address. But it's not really the "fault" of Family Origins. Rather, the "fault" is that the underlying operating environment does not provide a reliable and secure way to assure that the mailto tag always works, and that it uses the correct E-mail account even in a many-to-many environment.

Lots of features, I have been with this since v2, and now v10. I like being able to transport books to Word Processing, adding pictures and reformatting the Sources and Information in the body of the book. Merging people has been great to use, and gotten better with each version. Editing the place names, and the many, many notes and sources that you can add to individuals. The to do list, has saved me time at Libraries and on research trips. The ease of use and well set up so you do not have to fumble to get through the many options that are available. Either the family view or the Tree menu has been helpful in comparing databases. Of the five software packages that I have critiqued for programs on what to buy. Family Origins always wins out with the ease of use and easy learning curve. Bruce you have done a great job.

The feature I like and use the most is the ability to print reports and pedigree charts to pdf files. This is the way I share most genealogical material. The source manager was improved tremendously about version 6 and has been further revised since that time.. To me the ability to add sources for each fact event in proper bibliographical style is important. I also like the improved merge features. I rarely use the side by side comparison of databases, although it is a nice feature. I have never used the drag and drop feature as I almost always retype information I find from another database.

Multiple indented descendant reports with pictures and multiple scrapbooks in the FO 10 Journal with the option to save as PDF is my favorite feature. My files change too often to edit every sentence in RTF reports. One database for each potential family book allows corrections and additions over time. Sometimes open two different genealogy programs but haven't worked with multiple copies of FO or any other program. FO displays reports quickly so the spacing of notes can be checked frequently during data entry. I'm planning to make a new GEDCOM without facts to try a Family Origins book with all available pictures and source documents with each of my great-grandmother's siblings starting a "chapter." Each household needs at least two scrapbooks because of a mix of very wide and very tall source documents. The goal is to display sample family books with pictures printed directly from several genealogy programs at the local October conference. Data entry, spacing and order of notes is best planned for the specific program used to print reports, books or charts.

I think that first I would put the multiple window improvement, but then the drag and drop is super. I prefer having to merge them, altho, if you drag just one individual, you can check the box to have it merged upon transfer. By merging myself, I get a last chance to make sure that all the information from both is being retained. I get the merge window where I can edit each individual. Saves some preliminary time even tho I try to standardize both sides before d&d.

What is the most helpful addition to or innovation in Family Origins over the years? Although I'm a relative newcomer (ver. 6) and can't speak to the earlier versions, I would nominate being able to open two data bases side by side as the most helpful, everything is right there in front of you. For me, drag and drop runs a distant second, primarily because it isn't "drag and drop and go" - you have to drag and drop and then link the person(s) also. To me, a true drag and drop would include linking the person as whatever relationship it is dropped into - father, mother, child, parent.
