Dear good folks of Garrard County rootsweb list; Does anyone know how those in military service during census years are counted? I am trying to find my grandfather in the 1900 census. Though he was from Garrard County, I believe he was serving in the military in 1900. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jennifer

I agree that I like Family Tree Maker. However, they do have a way of dropping support for older versions so you have to buy new updates every year or two. See attached I just received from them. Reminder - Support of Outdated Versions to Be Discontinued At Genealogy.com, we work hard to offer you useful new features and keep up with advances in hardware and operating systems. Changing technologies sometimes make it necessary to discontinue live support for outdated products. As a result, technical support of Family Tree Maker versions 7.5 and earlier will be discontinued on June 30, 2003. Support will still be available for Family Tree Maker versions 9 and 10. If you're still using one of these early versions, now is the time to upgrade to Family Tree Maker 10. When you upgrade, you get all the great features you missed in previous Family Tree Maker versions. You'll still have technical support. Plus, you'll be able to view all our latest CDs with Version 10. Your data and family trees will open easily in Family Tree Maker 10. In fact, they will look better than ever, because you can apply all the new features to the data, trees, and reports you have already created! Because we cherish our long-term customers, we're offering you a 25% discount on the upgrade with a choice of data to jumpstart your research. You'll get all the latest features, fresh data to explore, and continued technical support. Order today! Offer expires June 5, 2003. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Brown" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 9:49 AM Subject: RE: [KYGARRAR] software > I use Family Tree Maker. > > As for transfering your files.... > You should be able to save all of your genealogical data as a generic GEDCOM file.

Please consider Legacy. A free version, which is missing a few bells and whistles, is available. Give it a trial run. See http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/. I began with Family Tree Maker, but became dissatisfied with its sourcing capability. I have been very happy with Legacy. It's a small company that does regular updates for no charge. They only launch a new edition when there have been significant new features added. Check out the sites that show user preferences; most that I've seen put Legacy at or near the top. The family data for my websites was generated by Legacy. Take a look.

Just a word about genealogy software.... I find it interesting that folks think they need to get a new program because technical support has been discontinued. Before you run out and buy another program, ask yourself if you have ever had to call for technical support. If you have never had to call, why would you think you will suddenly need technical support? Just go on using your software; there is no reason to think the software is no good because there is no technical support. Sharon Young Jebavy <>< [email protected]

I use Family Tree Maker. As for transfering your files.... You should be able to save all of your genealogical data as a generic GEDCOM file. GEDCOM is a format designed specifically for this task. Every genealogy software on the market today should be able to import the GEDCOM. Look for an EXPORT option in the FILE or TOOLS drop down menus of your software, then lok for EXPORT or SAVE AS GEDCOM. This will allow you to create the GEDCOM. Pay close attention to the path that you save to, because you will need to know it when you import into your new software. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 12, 2003 7:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [KYGARRAR] software I hope that someone can give me good advice as to what I should do regarding genealogical software.

Hi Betty, For my money I would suggest: 1. RootsMagic which replaces Family Origins and is compatrable with most modern programs. Currently in Version 1.02 sells for less than $50 2. PAF, Personal Ancestral File. Published by the Church of Latter Day Saints (Morman). Free Down Load at FamilySearch.org or purchase the CD for less than $10.00 shipping. Now in version 5.0x. The standard by which mot others are measured.

I am trying to find out if the John Bryant in the John Bryant Cemetery in Garrard Co. b. in 1760 d. in 1833, married to Mary Owsley b. 1768 and died 1848 is a relative of mine. My ancestor, John Charles Bryant was also born in 1760. All I really know about him is that his father was named Henry Randolph Bryant born in 1732 and that he had a son Henry Charles Bryant born in 1805. He also had a son John Cromwell Bryant born in 1820 and a daughter Edith Bryant Robinson born in 1818. Any help you may provide would be appreciated. Thank you. [email protected]

Robyn, Francis Carson Hubert, Carson Family researcher, reported that Katy Slaughter was the wife of John Zachary Carson, born 28 Feb. 1874. Her sister, Capitola Slaughter was the first wife of Dave Carson Holman, born 26 Nov. 1878. The Slaughter family home was on Sommerset Road, across from the Crab Orchard Springs Hotel Resort and Springs, a few miles from Crab Orchard, Ky. Are these sisters related to your Slaughters?

The Archives in Frankfort and the Historical Society are two totally different things...both have wonderful research materials. The Archives is located on a hill across the KY River from the State Capitol...on Coffee Tree Rd. The Historical Society is downtown. Sharon Young Jebavy <>< [email protected]
