Hi Listers, I want to check out some Scottish Church records. How can I access them on the LDS online search? I went in and checked religions, and they could not recognize the request for Scottish Church records. The FHC has them, I must be missing a step. I know there is a Scottish list, but I am snowed under and had to drop it. I am having problems with PA. research. I see I can send in $25 and request someone in the Historical Society to do research. However, twice now I have sent money for death certificates in Kansas and New Hampshire only to be told they cannot find them. I can understand that, but I had one great-grandfather who died in 1927 only 20 days after my great-grandmother. They found hers, but not his. My problem in Pennsylvania is a great-grandfather, Frederick DRESSLER born in 1832 in Union Co., PA. I found a George Dressler born in 1802 and Sarah FISCHER who had a son Frederick with the same exact birth date in Union Co. PA. Then when I got his death certificate from Kansas, it said his parents were John DRESSLER and Mary CRUM. One of these has to be wrong, I do not know who gave the birth information to the funeral home, it did not say. The Union Co. birth records were supposed to be extracts of actual vital records. I am willing to pay for their time, but wonder if they will have information that far back. Especially if records are missing as late as 1927. On backups, I have always made genealogy backups and rotate them on ten floppy disks each time I work on my program. However, I had my old PAF and Ancestral Quest always backed up. Then I made the mistake of trying to go from Windows 95 to 98. I must have got a bad program as it locked at 14 minutes to go each time we tried to install it. Finally a tech said I need 64 RAM although the program said it could be done with a minimum of 32 RAM. After struggling to install it for a month, I returned it and they refunded my money. Then I added 32 RAM, making it 64 RAM. Meanwhile my Windows 95 was corrupted. I had to erase my hard drive and reformat my hard drive. I had bought a new Ancestral Quest version 3.0 to add with the Windows 98, and now want to use it for the Windows 95. My old AQ and PAF had been corrupted and I could not transfer my information. My tape backup restored my pedigree information for the parents and child I am descended from on each generation and their notes. However, all siblings, spouses, and allied families and notes were missing for 14 generations. I still had the back up floppies, so we reinstalled the old AQ and used the latest 1999 floppy backup made before the 98 problem and sent a GEDCOM to my new program. To sum this up I have some kind of gremilin in this computer. Old information deleted in 1997 is there, new people, dates, places, and notes added in 1997 through 1999 are missing. However, I had sent a GEDCOM for my Genealogical Quarterly in 2 months ago and it is correct. I do not understand how I can have changes made in 1997 back in my notes and dates and all new information is missing. I am finding wierd things everyday, it does not make sense. Meanwhile, I am going through each generation and reentering all notes and trying to correct changes made over the last two years. Good thing genealogy is so much fun, or this computer would be long gone. By the way, maybe we should take up a collection for poor Bill Gates. We were given a phone number so we could talk to a tech. Evidently they only have one, and his mail box was always full. I am not about to pay Bill $35 otherwise for the privilege to call them for single problem. His program has already cost me enough. Regards, Jean Suman
