Nevertheless, I have to say I'm satisfied, because I can order CDs, and if I don't find anything I can send them back within 90 days for a refund. Can't beat that! Also, if you speak to them on the telephone they are willing to take the time to help find and recommend CDs that might show your family. So there's lots of customer service. I'd give it a try!

Hi, Here is a site that does free lookups on these CD's. You might want to go this route before purchasing one. http://seidata.com/~genealogy/cdlist.html Good luck, Joan Lou2538@aol.com wrote: > Has anyone out there bought any of Family Tree Maker CDs?

Satisfied or not? >Thanx, Lou > Lou, The data is sometimes wrong (in my opinion) but the chances of connecting to other branches of trees are good. I made a very nice discovery in one of the disks that I had purchased. And the person who submitted that info seems to be a very good genealogist. The data I have found in the LDS church records is not very accurate at times either...so...as a point of reference...you may find some good info to work with.

Has anyone out there bought any of Family Tree Maker CDs? I have FTM and it is very good at organizing, etc. Was considering purchasing CDs, but don't know if they would be worthwhile. What your experience? Satisfied or not? Thanx, Lou

Does anyone know where this cemetery is? I can't locate it on any of my mapping programs that usually find all of the cemetery's I've looked for. Can't find this one. Linda

. Does anyone have any more information about this Williams family? We are hoping that John may be our elusive John, the age is about right. So now we are looking for information about Thomas and Mary. And does anyone know about the Jones children?

Lynn: Here's what I found on George W. DAVIS: 1860 Census Belmont County, Ohio: West Wheeling - Pultney Township 332-316 George W.

Davis 60 OH Steamboat Pilot Catharine 53 ENG Keep House Thomas 14 William L. 8 I hope this helps with your research. Isn't it strange how he only aged 4 yrs. and she aged 8 yrs? Her birthplace changed, too. I guess this is why we only use the census to lead us to other documents. <GRIN> Happy hunting!
