It would seem rather odd that it >wouldn't import their own data transfer file... Apparently Leonardo is commenting without really learning how to use the programs that he has downloaded. I'm still waiting for the names of the 3 programs he downloaded that will not import GEDCOM files. I must have tried about 20 different programs over the last 20 years, and I really didn't find a single one that wouldn't read the basic data from a GEDCOM. Not all did a decent job of it, but I was able to get names, and bmd dates. -- Charlie Hoffpauir http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~charlieh/
