Dear Rosemary Thank you so much for your suggestion, I will look into it. Regards Mary

Hi David, If you are using Windows 7 there is in the Control Panel a legacy operating system. Control Panel>Programs (in green)>Programs and Features> click on "Run programs made for previous versions of Windows". A program Compatibility wizard then pops up. Follow instructions. When you next open Legacy 7.04 There is a hiccup on the screen whilst the program loads. You are asked via a "User Account Control" if you want to let the program take control of your computer. Say Yes. Any other program you already have open or any new one still operates under Windows 7. Hope that makes sense Mike I have just got Family Tree Maker 2011. Upgraded from v16. Very big and powerful, loads a lot quicker then v16, even though I have a lot of images of census documents and photos, etc. Stores them outside the main program.

Dear List Does anyone have the up to date e-mail address of Kyle D Williams who has transcribed various censuses of the area around Llandeilo'r Fan which are the web. He lives in Woodbury, TN37190 I have sent some amendments to his listings to [email protected] but they have bounced back. Thanks Malcolm

Hi All I thought I would list my interests in Powys. My 2x Great-grandfather was a farmer and the parish clerk for Cathedin on the 1851 census, which gave his date of birth as about 1796 in Cathedin. I think he married an Elizabeth Price from Trallong on 28 Aug1830 and one of their children was John Jones, born about 1843 in Cathedin. Does anyone have access to the Parish records for Cathedin from the late 18th century. I would love to find Henry Jones or John Jones christening records. David HB

Until version 3 I would have unhesitatingly recommended RootsMagic. Version 4 is unfinished product, where duplicate source even duplicate events turn up with depressing monotony. There is supposed to be a feature that automatically merges these type of problems, but it doesn't work. The one good thing is that it can now connect directly to the LDS new family search, so if you are a member (I am not) you can search for duplicates in other peoples trees and link them to yours so your tree can grow very quickly.

David: I am really sorry to hear that you have had these problems with Legacy. It is such a good program, and the man who runs it is very eager to help with any problems, that I had hoped you had contacted him and that he had been able to help you with your problem. We have several of us who live in Albuquerque, and we use Legacy and Windows 7 without a problem. Hope you get the help you want from another program. I for one have used Roots Magic several years ago, and found it very cumbersome and difficult to use. The learning curve was very high and I gave up on it. I have loved Legacy. Good luck in your quest.

Unfortunately, I can't directly answer your question because I have no experience of using Roots Magic 4. However, I suggest you consider switching to Family Historian (now in version 4.1) which I *do* use and which works perfectly under Windows 7. The program is updated regularly, and the programmer (Simon Orde) is a regular contributer to the FH User Group and incorporates user's suggestions for new features into each upgrade. I have no commercial interest in FH. Kind regards, John -------------- John Ball Brecon, Mid Wales, UK E-mail: [email protected] Website: http:/www.jlb2005.plus.com/

Dear Marlene and Jill Thank you for your replies. Edward's wife's name was Margaret not Mary. They had four children that I know of - John born Brecon c1829, Edward born Ireland c 1837, Ann (Johanna) born Newport, Wales c1840 , Frances, born Bristol,GLS. 1842. John, Edward and Ann's dob deduced from 1861 census; I have Francis' birth certificate. In 1861 they were all living in County Durham ENG. - They certainly moved around! On Francis' birth cert. Edward's occupation is stated as labourer - so he has left the army. I haven't found the family on either 1841 or 1851 census. I have had two professional researchers also searching for this family between 1829 and 1861 with no luck. Margaret is a widow in 1861 census. I have Ann's marriage cert for 1858 in Merthyr Tydfil, she married a George King. Thanks again ladies Mary Australia

Does anyone have any family memories passed down about Vicars Frederick Tompson and John Edward Tompson? They served in several churches in Wales over their careers. Their ancestry is in Staffordshire. Llanllwchaian and Chirk Rev. Frederick Tompson served at Llanllwchaian and Chirk, and is buried there (1880). His wife was Frances Metcalfe, daughter of Vicar John Metcalfe. He was married to Frances in Burton, Staffordshire. Mochdre and Esclusham Rev. John Edward Tompson, married by his Uncle Frederick in Llanllwchaian to Frederick's daughter Caroline Tompson, served at Mochdre for many years. He went from there to Esclusham Church in Rhostylln and has a window dedicated to him there, so must have been well-liked. He moved (1914) when quite elderly to Childswickham in Gloucestershire, where we was still leading the choir when he died (1919). Any memories will be much appreciated. Thank you from Ellen

Hi Mary https://beta.familysearch.org Joannes Mcgrath Bap 06 Mar 1845 Clifton, Gloucester, England 21 Jan 1845 Father Edwardi Mcgrath Margaritae Daly Do you know what their religious affiliation was? I have previously come across a group of families who moved between Bristol and Durham and other places who were Baptists. One of these also had gaps in the census and eventually I found evidence of them doing missionary work in India. Nicola -----Original Message----- Dear Marlene and Jill Thank you for your replies.

Hi Listers For the past few years I have been using Legacy Family Tree 7.04 software, but after updating to Windows 7 I find it does not work very well. Research on the Web shows that this is a common problem with Legacy and many other popular family tree databases because the manufacturers have not updated their software. However, according to what I have read it seems that Roots Magic 4 (standard addition) works perfectly well with Windows 7. Before I buy a copy can any listers who are running Roots Magic 4 with Windows 7 let me know whether it works OK or if they have had any problems. Many thanks.......................................David
