Rita, Thanks for the info. The reason I was looking for Frank's obit is his sister, Mary's first husband, John was also killed in the mine. Mary remaried to Boleslaw Polujan between 1915 and 1919 when my grandmother, Violet was born, she could only remember that her mother's first husband's name was John & that he was about 17 yrs.old. None of the Johns that are listed fit what info I have. I was hoping that there were obits and it listed family info.

I'll put my two cents in here. I used family tree maker until the 2005 version. I didn't like the changes they made, so I downloaded each program that would allow me to try it for free. I tried, PAF, Brother's Keeper, Rootsmagic, and The Master Genealogist. I played with each program for about a week, and with things I like to do Rootsmagic fit my wants/needs the best. The only way you can tell which program is right for you is to play with them for several days at a minimum, add people, create reports, that is the only way ou are going to find a program that will do what you want/need. What works for one may not work for another.

If you try FTM for a week, I believe you will like it. Another good thing about FTM is that many people use it. If you have questions on how to make reports, there's always some one who can tell you how it is done.

Jana: I see we are in agreement about FTM 2006. After the first couple days' using the new version, I couldn't remember what the previous version was like. Since it is so widely used, most everyone who shares files with me use FTM 2006, and there is no conversion needed from FTM to GEDCOM and then back to FTM. We just share a FTM file. Nyla I am a user of FTM 2006 and I love it. There are different views you can use to see information. Perhaps what Clarence used in the past was the old FTM? I originally bought mine when version 6 came out, I think it was. I upgrade each time as well and I love the way it is laid out and it is extremely user friendly :) Just my $ .02 worth =) Jana Hertz
