I forgot to say that the genealogy files are very large. Back up frequently! I learned the hard way, but my cousin saved me. We share information all the time so I really did not lose that much information. I also do n't store pictures on FTM. It's way too much information. I always save pictures on a separate file and disc. I now have a separate hard drive to hold the information on it also. -- The HarmyBoard HarmDrive

In reply to: Martian Barb 's message, "Hey Deemus, I do genealogy all the time. I use Family Tree Maker. I don't always think it's the best program, but I have used it for so long that I am used to it. It was very user friendly when it first came out, but now, it is a little more complicated. Inside for other ideas." on 08:43:43 03/03/09 Tue

[> [> [> Thanks, Martian Barb. I'll check that one out. I would like to store pictures, too, but maybe that will take too much space. I'll remember your warning about backing up info. -- Deemus, 08:32:45 03/07/09 Sat [1]
