This past weekend I had Win 7 reloaded on my laptop. I have used Paf companion for many years and downloaded the one on the familysearch website. A pop-up says that I need an unlock code and won't allow me to view a pedigree chart. I believe that many years ago, I may have purchased a full copy of Paf comp, and I have the cd. Any suggestions as to what I should do to get the full version? Thank you. Karen

I've been asked about how to use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The person involved is a stepdaughter looking for information on her stepfather/father. It sounds like the military service or classified service was post-WWII. What can I tell her to help with her project?

You can go to the help center in nFS and put in "display different spouse". It will bring up a description on how to display the spouse you want. This is document #1012553.

Does anyone know what algorithm is used by the system to decide which set of marriage info is displayed by default?

Trying to clean up the displays as we've been advised, so - I know how to select in the summary view the preferred info to display for an individual's info, but how do you select which of several sets of Marriage info should be displayed? thanks, -- Dan Taysom [email protected]

I remember not that many years ago when Ancestry's censuses weren't all indexed yet. I knew the county my great grandfather was born in, in Missouri, so I started a township-by township read-through of the 1860 census for this particular county to find his family. I was luckier than you, Michele. I found them in the 3rd township I looked at.

Hello List, Does anyone know how people will search the new census before it is indexed? Thank You, C Brisbon

It is of course easier in small rural communities, or if the family you're looking for were farmers. If your family was in the city, the 1930 census enumeration district is a good place to start looking, according to everything we've seen coming from the national archives *unless* they moved in that ten year time span. One of the questions asked in the 1940 census is where you lived in 1935, because with the dust bowl and the depression, a lot of people moved. I hope the national archives computers don't crash Monday morning. I know of a lot of people who don't work day shift that are going to go on line at 9:AM EDT to start the hunt. I wonder which states the indexing people will post first. Our local genealogy society has volunteered to do at least our county here in Nebraska (Douglas, which was the major population center even in 1940, and hasn't changed since...perhaps even some of the other counties near by. But I know I am also itching to get my hands on East Tennessee & Lancaster co, PA, and some places in MN & SD. Thank Goodness conference will serve as a distraction this weekend or I'd be climbing walls in anticipation.)

I have already found the Enumeration Districts for my family in Salt Lake City using Steve Morse's site.  I was able to obtain the street addresses from older family members and written family histories to plug into the website.   I typed in the street addresses and found the EDs.  I just now have to wait for Monday to roll around.  I will still probably have several pages to look through, but the enumeration districts for my family were one block east and west and about 8 blocks north and south in SLC - a manageable task. http://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html Once you have the ED, you can also look at the maps of the EDs.  For the maps and other information about the 1940 census, see http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/ Rebecca Christensen

I used the instruction that Doris posted and successfully obtain access to the Family Tree. I was a little unsure of how to get back there so I saved the link in "Favorites" which did not work to get back in after I had signed out. What did work was to go to the www.familysearch.org website, then login as normally. Next step is to notice the "Family Tree" tab at the top of the page which was not there before the login. I tried this successfully a couple of times. Nancy Scott
