Yes, I thought Whitsome & Hilton would be small enough to be simple (only 25-35 houses in the village itself, depending on when)....

That would make it a *very* expensive hobby!! Well, I've only got the info because I've been through the actual certs. I'm in the habit of spending at least a couple of days in Edinburgh each year as part of my annual holiday, just grabbing data. I check other info, of course (spent most of a week in the 19th century tax records in 2005, for example), but have tried to spend at least 1 day on BMDs. During that day(s) I just concentrate on getting the data down (an advantage of doing a OPS, if it's my parish, it's interesting, no need to think) in my notebooks. I'm up to the late 1890s - still end up downloading from Scotlands People of course, but this keeps the cost down. Everything goes into my databases for use during the rest of the year.

I agree FTM 16 used as a text only tool is my basic weapon then there are websites - freebie on blogspot and rootsweb and a shared searchable database on rootsweb which is a gedcom viewer (on a unix server I believe) lately I put flickr as an image server and slide show viewer for discussions boards and lists on yahoo groups and it is easiest to set up a new yahoo group I regards the web as a public OS agnostic application funded by advertising and for home use the AJAX stuff like docs.google.com are very valluable toola Hugh W -- For genealogy and help with family and local history in Bristol and district http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Brycgstow/ http://snaps4.blogspot.com/ photographs and walks GENEALOGE http://hughw36.blogspot.com/ MAIN BLOG

Lesley, If you don't have to be able to export in GEDCOM (which appears to be the case since you're using MS Works), you should meander to http://www.alphasoftware.com/ . Just to the right of dead center is a button for a Video Demo. Don't believe the line below which says that non-programmers can building complete applications without coding. You will do some coding but in the AlphaSoftware way, not the X-BASIC upon which the program is written. Alpha 5 is extremely powerful and I haven't found a limit yet to what you can get the program to do, database wise. Version 8 is the best and latest but they are supposed to be introducing a newer, more powerful version within a month. I don't know what they could possibly add but it'll be interesting. If you are interested, you can buy V8 with credit going to the version-to-be-released which I think they named Platinum, rather than Version 9. I recommend the program solely on its strengths. I have no interest of any kind in the company other than an extremely satisfied customer. BTW, AlphaSoftware has fantastic support and their usergroup is full of experienced users who are more than willing to help, sometimes to the point of doing some coding if you're totally stuck. Finally, you can download a Trial so it won't cost you anything to discover the best kept secret in databases.

Wow! That was quick! Thank you both for your help. Sunbeam

Now that I am running Vista and can no longer use my ancient version of Generations I have started using Legacy. I cannot find out how to output a report to a file other than a '.rsi' file. Can anyone help please Sunbeam

I keep the bulk data (BMDs, baptismal records, that sort of thing) in MS Works databases as they're not only easily searched, but you can sort on less-usual fields (a sort of the death certs based on cause of death and year pinpointed an outbreak of typhus in the parish, for example). I keep the "sorted" families in FTM 2005 (and won't be upgrading), largely because of its ability to generate "all database" trees. I also contribute to a group working on the Kemlo(e)/Kemley family of NE Scotland and keep the data the same way. Any odd data can go straight into one of a set of databases, for linking later. My "misc" database is most useful in this respect. It's where I put odd references to unidentified individuals (eg if they turn up as witnesses, executors to wills, etc). I'm not convinced that a single piece of software can do the job for 1-place or 1-name studies (somebody is sure to prove me wrong) simply because of the need to keep quantities of almost unrelated data in a searchable form, and also keep track of families I've managed to piece together.
