Hi Gary I would be very grateful to receive your email re the "Software Gems" for the genealogist. Thank-you Kind Regards Hilton Doidge [email protected] ".....I will send you in another email a 4 page Word document of a presentation I gave last summer of "Software Gems" for the genealogist. It has a (very) short description of what the software does and includes web links so people can go to the site and research it for themselves. And since many are free programs anyway, they can test those with no financial commitment. Feel free to make copies to hand out...." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Templeman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [PAF-5] PAF add-ons > There is really no answer to what a person "should" purchase.
