I have a question. But first let me explain why I am asking it. When I search websites such as familysearch.org, I like to copy any interesting results to a spreadsheet file for review later. Unfortunately, the search results on familysearch.org are not presented in a format that is easily copied into a spreadsheet. So, I have decided to write a small application that will convert the familysearch.org search results into a spreadsheet file. It will read the 'expanded' result directly, without having to open the preview, and with only 1 or 2 clicks of the mouse. If I write this app just for myself, I won't bother to make it user friendly. So, my question is this... Would anyone else be interested in this (free) application? Les Hardy

Les, that sounds like a terrific project and I would appreciate the app, please.

G'Day Les, Thanks for your kind reply. I note your comments Im still very nervous about approaching this new computer, as for one, it doesn't look like a normal computer,its like a huge TV screen. My grandkids assure me, its easy to use and user friendly. I still look at it with awe Would it by any chance have a word like document? or email program currently I use Windows mail. Im comfortable with them Guess, this now means I have to come out of my comfort zone and venture into new territory with i Mac. Have a great day Annette Aksenov

I read the FTM instruction for merging, and the merge options are much the same as other gen apps. The the 'duplicate name merge' is just one of the options. Choose the option to merge a file, and you will be able to 'Include all individuals' from the file. Whatever you do, it is most important, as Joy said 'backup you files first' Take a look here... http://ancestry.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ancestry.cfg/php/enduser/popup_adp.php?p_faqid=4377&p_created=1226092981 On 28/12/11 01:49, Linda wrote: > There is a merge in FMT.

Hi gals, I need a wee bit of help. I am looking for any patterns of "BROOM STICK LACE" lap robes. I would like to make one for my cancer patient, she has these long chemo sessions and I need a packable project..Can you help? TIA. ~ Linda ~ Willow Creek,CA.

http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/broomstick_lace.php I did a search on Broomstick Lace free patterns and several turned up. The one above seemed to be a good one. If you do not find it there, then search again and try some of the other sites. I made an afghan of different colored stripes years ago that turned out very nice. If they do not have a lap robe, you could just use the afghan pattern and make it smaller.

Linda -- I am not an expert on merging databases, or on genealogy programs, but would you be up to trying RootsMagic Essentials - the free portion of RootsMagic? I checked the site and it says it has merge capabilities. You might want to check it out and see: http://www.rootsmagic.com/Essentials/ I started out with two or three databases and found that I had to update them all when I updated one. So, I merged mine together using the full RM program, which is the one I use. There are a couple of different merges. IF you do this, be sure to keep backups of your FMT files. Then, I think, but am not sure, that RM will just import your files. You will need to import both your files, then merge them. If they do not import, then you will need to make GEDCOM files and import them to RM. I would read the info on the RM site to make sure this is what you want to do, but I am sure happier with only one database. Good luck, whatever you decide.

G'Day Now, I NEED Help Big-time I mean it too! My family has got me a iMac for Christmas. I have only ever used Windows, so this is new territory for me. Am I able to sometime in the future, transfer all my genealogy programs etc to the i Mac, or do I still have to maintain the two systems Can I use any of my Microsoft programs on it Annette Aksenov

I'm with you, Maxine. I hate the phone too. Connie A while back our Keith told us of a really good by on the portable floppy drive for about $12 from Amazon ( I think it was). I got one and it is GREAT. I still use them as well and when I had my computer built he did not have enough room left in the Asus tower to put one in. By the way...I have a cell phone that I can only talk on as well and have only done that to test it when I first got it. (BIG grin). I hate talking on a phone and it is for emergencies only. Maxine

Linda...bless you for helping Terri....no one knows what chemo is like until they have had it. I will put Terri on my prayer list. Keep us posted on her progress.

Hope that now, everyone is over the Xmas highs....what did you do special this year? Anything that your going to remember or regret? I spent my Christmas day, being a caregiver to a Cancer patient. Her name is Terri, and she is a partical remmision stage of Lukemia. She has to be away from all her family and friends but me...Dr. orders. As a Cancer survivor myself this past year, I still keep away from public events and such like crowds. Terri's chemo is so strong that she can't taste anything, isn't interested in food or drink, and the list goes on. So she thought no Christmas for her, So I gathered together some ho-ho gifts and jokes and spent the day feeding them to her, then we played cards (different games of) for 3 hours...I took her a wee slice of Cocanut Cream pie, boy did that disappear..made a u -urn at the bottom, but least it went down for a bit!. Today she is tired, but had a good time....we both feel good about christmas, and I told her, after chemo, her family can have a 2nd tree for her...she has 2 more chemo's to do , so hopefully by March, she will be in the clear...keep your fingers crossed...The Medical profession has come a long way towards stopping cancer's spread, but there is a lot of research remaining to be done...donate to the American Cancer Society often, not just breast cancer- but to Cancer studies that help all of us. ~ Linda ~ Willow Creek,CA.
