I purchased and downloaded Roots Magic for Mac and opened a GEDCOM exported from FTM2017. Within a couple of minutes I found “Timeline” under “Views” and that feature alone sold me.

I am still working on finding the parents of my elusive 3rd gr-grandfather Ephraim Fisher. I now have someone to work with. She is also a descendant. I tested at Ancestry, uploaded to gedmatch and also sent my results to FTDNA, where I found my cousin. I have read some of the questions and answers in the learning section but am still unclear. I click on my cousin's name and then click on 'in common with' and this brings up about 68 names. Does this mean there are 68 people who have 'something' in common with the two of us?? I use the chromosome browser and see several of the 68 all meet at chromosome 8. Does this mean we have a common? I understand it may not be Fisher but the large family he married into. Also, top of the list of 68 is a lady I was able to talk to on the phone. She and I connect only on chromosome 11 but nowhere else. So another question is why does she appear on the list of 68? From my reading I think that maybe I should ask my known Fisher cousin to look at her matches to see if she connects with this other person. Correct? There is a lot written about this subject but it mostly seems to be about the science behind it. ~Lori

Hi Lorri Do you really mean this list ? If so roots@rootsweb.com for the list roots-admin@rootsweb.com for the admin of the list Or do you mean MacKievs list ?

I believe there may be more than one Midway in Arkansas! The one where my Dad grew up is between Donaldson and Arkadelphia AR.

There is an Island in the Pacific called Midway. I landed there in 1956 on my way to Guam where I was stationed. I was a weatherman at the air station there. The Island is built on the rim of an old volcano and the center of it is a large lake of a beautiful blue color. There was not much else on the Island but military buildings and the old hulls of WW2 ships that were damaged in the battle of Midway. I don't know what it looks like today.
