Craig -- I do not have any problems dealing with these situations on my REUNION Mac s/w. But, on the NN, at this point I have a very low rate of self-confidence with ANY activity. Hopefully, someday it will become 2nd nature. I do have a situation in my Bush line which is suspicious; but I have to be careful about what I say. I honestly do think that today's Bush people are completely unaware as the information was shut off before the current generation and some of their ancestry were born. And then I went poking around in the census records.

Isn't this what this list all about? You don't have to be SPECIFIC as in NAMES, but how you work around it on the tree(s) would be useful for to know. Well, it would sure be useful for me to know. I'm kind of walking into new territory here.

Don, I know what you are referring to about the Edward Bush line and a lot of people are going to be quite surprised when we get around to that story.* But the records in Westmoreland on this are quite clear on what happened. Let's just save this up for later. I don't want to shoot from the hip on this but several years ago (and maybe still alive on my hard drive) I have this data. And yes, it is a perfect example of what I am talking about. And yes, agreed, Reunion will let you do enter information anyway you need to do. I do not understand why Donna would have said this. She has apparently not really used this application. It is far superior to FTM by a million miles. Craig *Much as some others going by the name Mozingo will be surprised to learn the emigrant ancestor was from Africa. New book out on that. Remind to send the news release by Joe Mozingo, the author.
