I just joined this newsgroup and I'm sure this question has been asked before. I would like to get some PC software to build a database for my genealogy information. Is there a FAQ you can point me to or some suggestions for software? I run WinXP as my OS. Thank you for bearing with me.

There are 24 listings showing, scattered all over the use. This website is much more up-to-date than any of the telephone directory CDs! In fact, I'm not sure if they even publish them anymore because of the easy accessibility of such info on the net. Sherry
Can anyone with the CD of telephone names and numbers for the united states look for the name BAEUERLE We wish to find the cities and states where persons with that surname now live. Thank you Boill -- q

I've asked my audio engineer, and he has responded: Portable Tascam DAT with canon input (XLR) - (grounded and balanced input) Sennheiser ME-40, ME-80 shotgun microphone Rycote suspension mounting and foam cover (or similar) (in case the mic is moved or you're outside on a windy day) tripod mic stand (don't hand-hold a mic) Stay away from brands who made musical instruments and have moved into recording systems. Sony's not bad for DAT recorders too. OPTION 2 (cheaper, not as totally fantastic but nevertheless decent): Digital Sony MiniDisc recorder Sony condenser microphone with shock-mount (pocket portability) No problems with X-rays at airports with either system (lots of experience). Hope this helps. David
