Sorry to send a nFS mail, but as my old login let me into the new familysearch... and I could do some looking around... I went back to RM5. Now the question is how to effectively use it. Very interesting. Found a bunch of matches to review. Should be fruitful. I have downloaded the webinar to view later this evening. I'm sure there are a lot of good tidbits in there. I had hoped to be able to see my person and the FS person side by side like when we get a duplicate match in RM5. I could do this which was great but when I went to edit my record I was unable to see the FS record that had the info I wanted to insert. It was covered full by a full screen edit record. Is this the way it works? Maybe copy the text from FS first and then go edit? Has anyone done any of this? Hopefully Bruce addresses some of this in the webinar. There is hope. I did not ask for new id or if I did it was so long ago that I have forgotten. I do know that I spent a lot of time logged in on the Pilot version and have spent a lot of time on the old FS database. Actually thought I made a dent and got a change made that made it easier to copy data out of the old FS. The info from the Pilot was easy to copy and I got spoiled! Off to dinner! Jinny Angelis
Not to post another email about nFS, but if you have been signed up for the old FS, follow my directions from yesterday, on connecting to the nFS with RM4 or RM5. I was able to connect yesterday to nFS with RM5. (I have just upgraded.) I just wanted to thank Bruce and his team for RootsMagic, as I just found a new cousin from one of my MOST elusive ancestors!! Using RM5, I was able to see the email address of the individual who submitted the information I found last night. She just responded to an email. Next question: Is there any way to import the email addresses of submitters from nFS? Thank you, Bruce, and your team. You are fantastic!! Brenda in Iowa
