I have a question. I am seeing many post about the differences between the new Family Tree Maker 2005 (www.ftm2005.com) and the Legacy Family Tree Program. I have used the PAF and ftm7.0 before and have looked in most of the reviews of all the Family Tree progams out there, from all this I have seen that FTM2005 and Legacy are the top 2 programs out there. I am leaning towards the FTM 2005 since it is the most popular but some Legacy folks have made some good points. Basically I am torn between which one to get and am looking for any good solid advice. You can email me off list if you want. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the kind words in regard to our latest publication. We are currently working on a second volume and would appreciate the submission of more stories pertaining to the "happenings", true or embellished, in Wright County, MO. Next volume will contain a story about two young men who met a woman who wasn't there; a man who may have built a fore-runner of today's Winnebago.....and murder most foul.

The family moved to Kansas in 1903 and I wonder whether anyone on this board knows of any newspaper mention or letters that might give me some details.
My husband and I would like to express our appreciation to all the families that contributed to the latest "Tales of Wright County" publication. My husband is a grandson of Clemon "Doc" NeaL and Pearl Merchant Neal, not only has this collection of entries brought pleasure to him, the entire book has been a delight to read. My Mother is now reading the stories, enjoying them very much, she is a native of Arkansas as am I. When these stories and recollections are put in hard copy, they will never be forgotten, and indeed, enjoyed by all who read them. Thanks again for all the effort that went into this issue.
