My one and only two cents worth. I have both FTM and Family Origins. FO is a newer version than the FTM. The only way I can prevent FTM from defaulting a downloaded GED file, is to open it through the FO. Being persnickety, I recall that the same company owns both programs, but that the FTM is their #1 marketing favorite. Hmmmmmm! Mike Cobb

Maybe I'm not understanding your question but if I give the new file a different name, it never interferes with my master FTM file which is called "masterfile" . I have dozens of different data files that people have sent me and the OPD file and find no conflict. I haven't downloaded the OPD file in a while so I have not had to deal with the size problem.

FTM may be their marketing favorite but the best program is FO. That's why I threw out all other programs. It makes a better book, etc. and will hold endless numbers of names. My regular file is over 80000 and when I downloaded the OldPend GEDcom it didnt even flinch! On Thu, 31 Aug 2000 08:34:38 EDT MCBB1@aol.com writes: > My one and only two cents worth.

I went to Family Origins from FTM and it handled that large file without a hitch. What you have with FTM is a version that is limited in what it can handle. If you upgrade or change to another program you should be able to gedcom the file from the old program and import to the new and then uninstall the old one altogether.

***For John Robertson*** John, I've read all this with great interest, and I fully understand the problem with FTM. If I did not have so much time invested in FTM I would go back to Brother's Keeper. Alas, the story of my life. I have BK and PAF on my computer. Here is my problem: when I attempt to open the downloaded info my FTM opens and of course will/can not handle the amount of info. I suspect somewhere along the line, maybe in version 5 of FTM, I selected it to be the default genealogy program on my computer. I attempted to go back to version 5 and change the default, however, the program prevents this. I have checked version 6 and there is no place to make this choice as V6 builds on V5. Suggestions please? How can I prevent FTM from opening as default genealogy program. any help from **anyone** will be greatly appreciated. I there is no other course I guess I'll go back to BK or maybe give PAF a try. My question about PAF: does LDS have a built in section that will allow them to enter my computer and collect the genealogy info? Many thanks for any help or suggestion. Sincerely Jim Allen.

A word of caution...these are fantastic sources but you may want to take the time to look at the documents yourself. I found an abstract of some important deeds were very incomplete and inaccurate. One very important one said that this ancestor sold 400 acres...the real deed said that he sold 100 of 400 acres and told specifically where the deed was filed, which was tremendous help. Also showed that there was no clear title to the land as the son was selling his part before the estate was settled and before his mother died. The date of the sale also helped me pinpoint where he was and when he moved from Union Co to Abbeville Co.

Hi folks, I'm new to this list and would like to know if anyone is researching or has any info on SUGG or SUGGS? I am particularly interested in those who moved to West Tennessee or Kentucky. All my info is at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~dray11 I have 10726 individuals, last updated Aug. 7, 2000. Thanks, Dave Ray dray@tds.net

Hello All, I am new to this list and would like to connect with anyone who has information on McGEE or CHAPMAN. I am specifically looking for information on Solomon McGee, born abt 1780 in VA. His son George Washington McGEE was born 1812 in SC. It's possible Solomon married Elizabeth CHAPMAN, daughter of Joseph Chapman, but I have no proof of this yet. I have lots of information on Solomon's descendents to share. The 1810 Census of Pendleton district of South Carolina, page 145 lists Solomon McGee. 2 males under 10, a male 26-45, 2 females 16-26 and one female 26-45. Just two lines above them is a listing for Joseph Chapman, 1 male under 10, 1 male over 45, 1 female 10-16 and 1 female over 45. I believe this could be Solomon's wife's parents. There is no longer a Solomon listed in Chesterfield Co where there was one listed in 1800. Would appreciate any contacts. Olive Lee >From Oklahoma "The Heartland"

Here's a great way to clean up messages. After you copy the text, open Wordpad. Paste the text into it, then click edit, replace. In the "Find What" box that comes up type >. In the "Replace With" box, don't type anything. Click "Replace All" and it will remove all those >>>>. Then you can either save the Wordpad file and send it as an attachment or simply copy the new clean text and paste it into the new email to send out. This technique also works in other text editors.

If you want to forward a message intact to someone and want to get rid of those >>>>>on the left side? Open a Word document. Then go to the message and use Ctrl A to highlight the entire thing. Move back to the blank Word document and hit Ctrl V to paste it there. Next use Ctrl H which drops down a window with a long field to type into. In that field put one " > " only (that means just type >) then hit the letter A for replace all. It will take all those little >'s out! Next use Ctrl A and highlight the entire text, go to your email message area and do a Ctrl V and you have a clean copy. It sounds complicated but once you do it you will find it a breeze to do.

<Smile> Now no one has an excuse to forward a messy message. Donna, I found that the mouse was hard to do for the cut and paste because it is hard to control where it goes. There is a way that my DH taught me that I like very much. It might be helpful to those who are new at mouse control. first, put your curser at the beginning of the text you want to copy, then hold down the shift button and use the arrow key that is on the right hand side of you key board and arrow to the end of the text, or use the down arrow if there is a lot of it. This lets you stop where you want on the highlighting. Then you let go of those keys and hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter C. This copies the text you have highlighted. Go to the place where you want this text copied to and put your cursor there. Then hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter V. It will paste the text right there. Works easier for me, might for some others too. Betty

> >My apologies for not being more clear. I was referring specifically to the >downloadable file, not the CD. > > My experience (I've done all this numerous times) with the *downloadable gedcom* is that it can be imported into practically *any* major Windows genealogy program (except that it can *only* be imported into FTM by using WinNT or Win2000), requiring from about an hour for Brothers Keeper to about 10 hours for Legacy, with typical import times of 2 to 3 hours. It is quicker by half to get it into Legacy by first importing it into PAF 4.0, then loading the PAF database into Legacy. This is exactly the process followed in making the cd. The gedcom is downloaded exactly as any of you would do it (maybe a bit faster!). Then, one at a time, this downloaded gedcom is imported into all the various programs. For many, using the cd is like hiring a neighbor boy to mow your lawn: you could do it yourself but prefer paying someone to do the time-consuming work for you (but likely at a lower rate/hour than for lawn-mowing!). For others, the cd is the only way they can succeed in accessing the data (e.g., FTM users not caring to bite the bullet and buy pricey Win2000 when they have no other need for it, or others simply overwhelmed by the process.). Currently, it seems that at least 75% of those interested in the OPD d/b, use FTM and are faced with the choice of (1) getting the cd, OR (2) switching to another program such as free PAF 4.0 (for this purpose, if no other). It is quite possible in PAF to split off a database containing those of interest to you, and exporting a gedcom of a size (less than 200,000 or so persons) which *could* be imported into FTM in Win95/98. But some would still prefer getting an occasional cd to the commotion of doing all this. So, at least for now, both methods are still available. Mac users aren't so fortunate. The only way they can currently get their hands on the gedcom is the re-assembled unzipped version of it included on the cd. And then, for some inexplicable reason, the import seems to be about 10 times slower. I hope this makes all this clear to everyone. John Robertson
