Hi folks, I have only been doing family tree for a couple of months but it is going really well, I have it all stored on here genes reunited, is this the best place to have it or are there better EASY to use family tree makers around Janet.

watch out for Heather she is the expert now but she isnt cheap !!! seriously you should not rely on just this site for your Tree if anything happens you will lose everything get yourself either a free PAF from the latter day saints site or buy FTM its wonderful, Heather will be along in a minute to advise you

Hi I would recommend the PAF off Latter day saints aswell. I have mine on it and it is very easy to use..... and believe me I need it to be easy lol Lesley :~)

You could always have your own FREE website on TribalPages, you can download and store all the details, say once a month, 'just incase' but it's a brill site and you can upload music and pictures etc. Elaine ;-) http://tribalpages(.)com/ ... remove ( ) from the address...

latter day saints site (www.)familyseach.org scroll for the free downloads

Derbyshire how easy is it to download music onto there have you done it thanks ??

Dead easy ! My site is full of music. You just cut and paste the link that they give you in the 'description' box and then add the link to where your particular piece of music is on your PC. It does seem a little baffling to start with, and I screamed for help when I first joined, but now I change the music with my mood ! ... There is an instructions/ help page ........ Elaine ;-)

thanks for that I am going to try

`````````````````````````*trumpet fanfare - Heather enters Hi guys, nope, Ive booked my saga holiday now so dont need so much commission - talk talk is paying better for promoting their all in one phone/broadband package. It really depends on what you want - the freebies seemed to be used by lots of people but a lot of us have familytreemaker because its linked to ancestry. You can buy it for less than £30 at play*com website which includes 3 months ancestry sub - which aint bad as the sub would cost you about £15 alone. Have a google see what you think. Meanwhile, back to my junior sales associate - Val, you can put music and video clips on FTM cant you? gawd knows how - but I wondered if you had done it. PS Val, Ive bumped up my new sales project in case you want to come on board - Save enough money for 3 or 4 certs per month thread - Im paying £2.50 for each sale you generate.

Blimey Heather that was deafening can you turn your Fanfare down a bit please ???? if nothing else you are a good business woman You do make me laugh thanks for that

What do you mean, 'if nothing else' - have I no other value Val to the world - * tosses head and stomps off dragging Glen by his manacle chain* giving him extra jerks. Seriously Val, you were talking about swopping broadband werent you - check out that thread, does seem very good deal with talk talk.

poor old Glen !!! yes I was thinking of changing this Tesco thing is working out expensive and its not that fast either I will see if I can afford the £2.50 was it you were charging ???.

Well, dont let on, but as we is mates - and you have done some commission free promotions in the past ............. Well have a look Val, cos its going to save me about £20 a month - £240 a year, not to be sniffed at, eh! The threads just below And dont worry about Glen, he loves it

Hi all, I am also interested in getting FTM 2006 and I have just read the comment by Heather about 90 day access to Ancestry. I would like to know is this full unlimited access to the entire site or just being able to look at stuff but not download i.e. Census pages? Would like any help Regards Steve

Well I can only assume its the full monty otherwise it isnt really a 3 month sub is it? Have a look on play*com Enter Family Tree Maker in the search there.

another Fiver they say money goes to money dont they ???

Wouldnt it be great to have a job where you did enjoy selling something for commission, Id love it. Only the products I really felt passionately were good and helped others though. What a shame, missed my vocation in life.

well you aint doing too bad now are you???

Well, Im only pretending I get the fivers Val, they dont actually send them to me - *drags Glen off to see her imaginery friends at ancestry and talk talk*

Janet,I haven't been doing this very long either and tried a few of the trial download programs. I found the best for me was Legacy. I used the free version and then liked it so much I bought the full version. it was $30 in Australia so about 12 pounds in UK, I think. Sometimes you just have to try a few. I've since got three different trees on it, printed ancestor books for the family as I go, etc. Pretty good for someone who is fairly useless on computer.
