Vonnie - I have been trying everywhere to find your email address. Will you please let me know where I can contact you privately........Doris

Mark, Yes, thanks, though the map sure is rough. Not too useful without geographical features, especially for boundary areas. Just noticed your last name. Are you descended from William Ledford who immigrated to Overton County in early 1800s (most likely from VA). Had daughter Rebecca and sons Samuel and Isaac (I think). There were other children, too. I'm descended from Rebecca Ledford who married Joseph, son of Edward Crawford from whom descend a large number of Crawfords now spread out around the US. I'm trying to confirm information on Rebecca, her father William, and their ancestry. Do you have any? By the way, just recently received some exciting news. This should be of interest for all of you on the Overton List Serve, not because of the specifics, but because of the implications of the value of DNA surname projects. DNA shows our line descending from the Crawfurd Ardmillan Cadet in Scotland with only three mutations between my brother and another member of our surname (Raymond) who has well documented descent from that line. This suggests a common ancestor (CA) within 300-400 years. We were quite easily able to identify a possible common ancestor in James Crawfurd of Ardmillan, who had one son that immigrated to England (Raymond's ancestor) and several that immigrated to No. Ireland in the late 1600s (most likely including ours). So basically we now can focus our search on Northern Ireland Crawfords. Currently I am trying to find out name of sons that went to Ireland, and county/ies they settled in. This narrows our search from among many thousands, to a few specific individuals. In addition, as the number of participants grow in the surname Y-DNA project, we have a greater chance of connecting our descent with others of the surname in the region of the country that the previous generation to the earliest identified ancestor (EIA) might have come from. So far, we have not found any Crawfords here in the US with only one or two mutation differences. When we do -- it is only a matter of time -- we will be able to work productively towards filling in the five or six lost generations between the EIA (Edward) and the hypothetically (pretty reliably estimated) CA (James of Ardmillan). What DNA does in particular is narrow the search so that you can focus document research in certain specific geographic localities, and thus considerably reducing territory to be covered. Recommend you join projects for your surname if you haven't already. Provides clues that will help breech that brick wall that may have brought you to a standstill in terms of tracing your ancestry back across the Atlantic, especially complicated when it goes through Northern Ireland. Permits a focus on origins and tracing the line forward that is often limited to bridging a gap over a few generations (in our case, only about five or six). We are then home free to connect with the historical genealogy of our cadet and surname, which may not be perfectly accurate but has been extensively researched and is fairly reliable back to the advent of surnames and sometimes beyond.

Melissa I believe that you can use GEDCOM to transfer the information from one program to another. I transferred from Family Tree Maker to Personal Ancestral File with very few problems when I had just started my research. I find that Personal Ancestral File (PAF) is one of the easiest genealogy software programs to use and there are so many add ons for special effects available. Ruth

Dear Susie, Hello, I have seen several message boards discussing The Master Genealogist. My question is this: I have Family Tree Maker and ALL my family information has been put in there. If I switch to The Master Genealogist, will I have to input all my information a piece at a time into the program or is there a way to import the information from one program to another?

I agree with Ronald. But, I have used Ancestrial Quest for years and each year the price for upgrading went up and up. I was told about PAF from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. It is exactly like Ancesteral Quest and is free. You can do charts, have different files and it is very easy to use. Also if you have problems you can go to your closest family history center and they will help you get started. Again for free. If you would like to try it go to familysearch.org and go to free programs. The information you put on your computer cannot go to anyone including the church. You have to submitt it. I have over 23,000 names in my program and have not ever had a problem with it. I did with Ancestral Quest. Just note that you should be careful. Good hunting. -------Original Message------- From: Ronald Disman Date: 02/15/07 18:55:59 To: tnoverto@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNOVERTO] genealogy software I am not going to recommend any program I think it is the own persons choice I will state that family origins is a simple program and I tell me that small children could enter information and use it, I have showed several people this program who likes although I use it along with family tree make both .

I haven't had much experience with many genealogy software programs except FTM, but I have been impressed with it. The newer versions are greatly improved. Family Tree Maker 2006 really does well when you want to convert it to a book. You can add pictures, index, genealogy reports all into a book. Each section will be added to a table of contents in the front of the book. And most impressive, it will create an index and list all of the names and the page or pages they are in the report, no matter how many sections you create. That book can be exported to a abode file (pdf file) and carried to a publisher to print. So at any time you have the capability of producing a book on any family that is in the book without any additional effort than entering the information into Family Tree Maker initially. So no matter how many families you have in your tree you can create a book on just one family. I create a list from my family tree maker of all the people that I have in the FTM and carry it with me when I am searching for my ancestors. (A portable PC would be nice) Recently when I went to a cemetery I printed out all my ancestors that were suppose to be at that cemetery. So as you can see, I think FTM is a good tool. If you have an older version you may want to consider updating it. I have over 22,000 names in my FTM and it keeps rolling along. It creates a backup every time you close it and various times during input. But it still resides on your hard drive, so it is good to backup often. -------Original Message------- From: Joey Crabtree Date: 02/15/07 08:48:55 To: CRABTREE-L@rootsweb.com; tnfentre@rootsweb.com; tnoverto@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNOVERTO] genealogy software Hi List, With your permission I would like to discuss genealogy software.

Joey, I highly recommend The Master Genealogist. I am a professional genealogist and this is the best program available. Data entry is a little confusing to people at first but believe me you can catch on quickly. You will be prompted to document every bit of information you enter (this is good!) It creates a master source list which you can choose from or add to as you go along. This feature creates your documentation which is so vital. Another useful feature is that you can add "tasks" to individuals (things you want to do next regarding this person). You can then print your tasks list for your next research trip, internet search, or whatever. You can print the list for one individual or several. There are so many great features that I can't describe them all, but if you have any questions just send me a message. You can visit my Wright Families of Overton Co, Tennessee website and see how detailed your information can be. The URL is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nataletne/Overton/index.htm Now this website was created by another software, Second Site, which takes the data directly from The Master Genealogist and create the website, but look at the entries and you can get an idea of what you can do. There is a mailing list on rootsweb and strong support from not only the creator of the program but from longtime users. I really think you would be pleased with it.

I had the question of what software should I get. I was referred to a comparison study which placed Legacy at the top. As a result, I purchased it (there is a free edition). I also joined the Legacy User Group, and have been "listening" to the comments there. A number of "long term users" have written some pretty glowing comments about the program. Although I do not have enough knowledge or experience to have a valid comment, everything I have seen leads me to believe Legacy is a good choice. Jim Neely, Tullahoma
