Jim, Thank you. Just as I was about to send my email to Charlie, my wonderful Dell wireless mouse froze up and I had to reconnect my old mouse before sending it. I hadn't read your email until after I sent it. Thank you. I thought I had seen it written somewhere on the CD once before. I appreciate the information. Now, it leads to another question: What Version of FTM do you have? I have the new one (2006) and do not have the "Go To" menu under the "Edit". I have (had) to page through one by one which is very frustrating. I remember having it on my old FTM (11). Any ideas? Thanks again.

The version of FTM on my computer is an old one: version 11, 26 Jun 03. I don't update it since I don't use it for my genealogy data--I use RootsMagic. However, it seems like the "Go To" function should be available somewhere in the newer versions. If you can't find it, then use the "Contents" tab and go through the table of contents on Beaman's Rhode Island VR CD #215 as I mentioned in my first post.
