Sarah - funnily enough I have just had a quick peek at that File I downloaded last week - I must be as thick as a plank, because I cannot understand one word of it. Perhaps I'm just tired, but I couldn't even find where to put in my first name. There must be some clever people on Genesconnected that's all I can say. Jacqui

Yes - totally agree - it does everything I need it to do. It's also useful to double check that you haven't made a mistake by printing a list of 'unlinked individuals' or 'possible problems', etc. By doing this, I found one poor individual I hadn't actually linked to anyone else - he was out in limbo, all on his own! I have separate trees for each of the lines I'm following, and one tree where I have joined them all together, which is useful for sites like GC where it is so easy to upload it all together. Perhaps others out there have some tips? There are so many options to this programme that I'm sure I can't be using it to its full potential? Janet

Followed a thread a couple of weeks ago that gave instructions on how to download this from the LDS Site. Have just been messing about with it really entering names and dates and yesterday, found all the reports and things on it, and it even writes a book for you. I'm amazed, so far its been quite simple although i'm sure theres plenty more on there for me to find, but thought I'd plug it anyway. Before finding that, I was saving all sorts of files on my computer and trying to write a "book" about the family, but it looks like my computer will do it for me. So thanks to whoever it was, I can't afford to buy a program for myself, so this is absolutely great!!! Sarah
