Hi Folks, I have a lot of info in my software called Family Tree Maker, and as I will be leaving my old table top computer here in China...is there a way I can carry the info stored on this program back to Canada ? Is it possible to set the program up in one of those portable memory sticks ? Then I could type it all in again. The printout gives only a wee thin slice of the info contained. Cheers, Bernie Hanlon P.S. any suggestion I'm not thinking of will always be great. Try to do or say something nice to someone today ! _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync.

Thanks for the correction, Bob. Now I understand the limitations of GEDCOM files. The better suggestion from me would have been to save the data in its native format (FTM) to a CD or memory stick.

Using a GEDCOM file to transfer data from one computer to that other especially when both computers are using the same program is unnecessary and can resulting in the loss of data. GEDCOM is good for transferring BMD info between different programs. Bernie should make a backup and check how big it is. If he does not have lots of exhibits it should not be too big. If the memory stick that he has is too small for his backup he can buy a larger capacity one for little money or save the backup to one or more CDs. bob gillis ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NS-CAPE-BRETON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Arlene.... I assumed the question marks after Mary (MacLeod??) meant the name could have been something else. I don't know if this would be of any help but just in case... I found a marriage that took place at English Town?? (hard to read) Dec. 30, 1873 (NSHVS web-site): Donald Campbell, age 30, B., Farmer, Resided & Born at Indian Brook s/o Donald & Christy Campbell (Farmers) Isabella MacLeod, age 21, S., Residence: North River, d/o Murdock & Mary MacLeod (Farmers) Bernardine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arlene Ragan" <arlene_whycocomagh@hotmail.com> To: "N.S.

The question was could I tie in or know of any connections between Donald Campbell from St.Ann's who married Mary (MacLeod??) to the Campbell's from Campbell's Mountain (which is outside Whycocomagh) It is family from New Zealand who is looking for this information and are now in the area. My thoughts right away would be Norman MacLeods family and group who sailed for New Zealand. Does these names ring a bell with anyone or any sugestions on where to start?

I don't use Family Tree Maker myself, but FTM probably has the same general features as other family tree software, including the ability to save your data into a GEDCOM file. Look in your FTM and see if that option is there. GEDCOM files are standard format that can be imported into most family tree or genealogy application programs. You can save your genealogy data into a GEDCOM file on your computer, and then save the GEDCOM file onto your memory stick or onto a CD. Take the memory stick or CD home to Canada with you. When you get home, load a new copy of FTM software on the computer you will be using, insert the memory stick into the USB slot, and then you can use the FTM software to access the complete database, without having to type anything over again. I've never had to do this myself, but I believe this is a procedure you can use.

I don't think a memory stick will save everything, but perhaps you only have a small amount of data. You could save a back up of your program and data to a CD and then when you get home reinstall from your back-up, and away you go. Alternatively back-up your entire hardrive to a portable hard drive and carry everything home that way. -----Original Message----- From: ns-cape-breton-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ns-cape-breton-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of bernie hanlon Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2009 9:35 AM To: ns-cape-breton-l@rootsweb.com Subject: [NS-CB] RE Question about Family Tree Maker Hi Folks, I have a lot of info in my software called Family Tree Maker, and as I will be leaving my old table top computer here in China...is there a way I can carry the info stored on this program back to Canada ?
