I apologized for the brevity of this response.I am in the midst of preparing material to meet a deadline that I havetomorrow. I just tried the URLhttp://www.momemorylane.com/resources/spreadsheettricks.pdf and itworked for me. It is a Adobe Acrobat .pdf file so you need to haveAcrobat Reader installed on your computer to read that file. PamelaBoyer's home page is http://www.momemorylane.com/ Be advised that you will not find the "Migration Route" spreadsheetthat I used in my presentation on her site. That is a tool that Ideveloped working on one of my client's problems. What I would suggest that you and Wilarlie Knight Barto consider doingfirst is identifying the types of records you will be using for yourWilson County, Tennessee migration study. For instance, you might usedeeds. Within those deeds the pieces of information that you want tocapture and compare could be: name of person, where the person livedwhen the document was prepared, date document prepared, date documentfiled, description of land purchased/sold, witnesses, dower release. On Saturday send me an e-mail that contains samples of the types of information you will be using and I will make some suggestions aboutdesigning the Excel spreadsheet for your project.

I'm the woman who lived as a youngchild on Chipelle and later Cornell, not far fromwhere you live today. The reason for this email is that I have sentinformation on your program and working with Excel spreadsheets for Migration studies and discoveringfamily relationships to a genealogy list calledTNWILSON. That stands for Wilson County, Tennessee. This lady, Wilarlie Knight Barto, atWILARLIEKB@aol.com, wrote to me with the attachedemail. She and also I could not accesshttp://www.momemorylane.com/resources/spreadsheettricks.pdf. Nothing comes up. Perhaps we should just shorten it??Can you tell us how to access this resource?
