I, too, like the idea of a "repository". My only problem is that I, being a "bear of little brain", have not yet successfully transmitted a GEDCOM file by email. I have just about given up on the idea. I cannot even use the "reply" forms on the WWW- after filling in the information, typing a note, I hit send and nothing has ever happened. I do dislike the idea of being limited in finding my REEVES because of personal or system limitations. Pollyana Brown ------------------------------
