I'm sorry to post this but I need any help possible. I use Family Tree and in looking at the timeline (which I never knew I had before) I thought I was deleting individuals from the timeline but actually deleted all the individuals out of my group (all 1200+ of them). And the backup tape broke in the restoration. The files is still 23 megs even though it shows only 2 individuals in the index. Does anybody know if a) I can recover my individuals and b) How to do it if possible? So as not to clog the list with any replies I ask that you e-mail me directly at: doehring@ix.netcom.com I am severely bummed out right now and looking at probably 3 months worth of work just re-inputting my tree. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Chris Doehring St. Louis, MO
