You might also consider placing your family in RootsWeb's WorldConnect program. I like it a lot better than the Family Tree Maker format and it would be an equally good way of making contact with others who may have information for you. Make a GEDCOM from your FTW file and upload it to WorldConnect: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ It would be really great to see more GEIGERs in a search of the over 53,300,000 names on file with WorldConnect.
