To the List: Early on in this discussion, I stated that I use TMG (The Master Genealogist) because of the advanced capabilities of this program. However, I failed to mention that I have also downloaded the free PAF 4.0.3 version and use it for my One-name Family Databases that I am building: TOSH, FREELOVE, and "Macoupin Co., IL Families". I can create a Gedcom in PAF and import them to TMG at anytime. The purpose of my using both programs is that PAF takes up much less space than TMG. (I had downloaded PAF 4.0 and upgraded to the 4.0.3 recently and all went quite well. I also recently downloaded the new PAF 4.0 Manual.) I find the PAF 4.0.3 to be similar to TMG in many ways. However, the flexibility of TMG is still far superior. I personally do not like the concept of FTM (Family Tree Maker) in that they "take our Family Trees and sell them back to us." If they would offer a discount (no matter how small) after submitting information to them, I would have been inclined to have given more consideration to FTM. For those just starting out in genealogical research, maybe this is not big deal, but I have been doing research 30 years. Sorry, but I just don't want my research sold. I will gladly share and have freely shared for the entire 30 years of doing genealogical research. In addition, I have seen so many errors in the FTM files that they are about as reliable as "Ancestral File" and the "IGI". And now with both the FTM and the LDS site opening up both of their forums to receiving Gedcoms, just how reliable are any of these? Linda Arnold
