I guess the main thing I'm wondering about are the problems some folks have
had regarding installation. I've never had any trouble with other versions,
but all this talk about previous versions remaining has me confused. My
files are big enough that I need them to be overwritten, not have double
space taken up. Maybe (hopefully) I'm misunderstanding the problem folks
are having.
I'll appreciate your clarifying it for me.
Thanks,
Harlene

The real problem is that a Data Error Report becomes useless for

Have you tried using the Find Error function under Edit on a Family View

error. It also takes you to the site of the error so you can actually see it

Possibly a better solution would be for clicking on Edit
Individual to take us to the notes page instead of general. That is
how it used to be.

Hi Rita
The born before marriage and after 20 years will show in error report no
matter what you do.
There are two different places to ignore errors.
1. When you have the data error report on the screen go up to
contents-options and take out the checkmarks. You know you don't have
dates for everything. LOL
2. when on a family page go up to tools-find error Ver 2005. If remember
right it was under edit in Ver 11. Put checkmarks in both and go thru
that finding errors. You can fix or i

During WWII the Red Cross sold cigarettes and other items to the soldiers in
the Pacific...my husband was there...and the Salvation Army gave anything
they had to the service people, for free!
I have also heard that the Red Cross never did spent all the money that was
given for the San Francisco Earthquake for those victims.
My husband always gave to the Salvation Army.
I had a neighbor whose husband was in service and I tried my best to get the
Red Cross to help her to get to the local base to see about

Hi List and Brian,
I trust that I am not too much off topic. Here is a sugestion of another
way to backup your data.
I will descibe the steps in sequence.
1. Get yourself a gmail address (these are by invitation only...it is a
google email account....these accounts will let you store 2640+MB at the
moment and it is increasing daily)
2. produce a gedcom file from your FTM program with the individuals that
you want....save this to a known location.
3. If you have WinXP right click on the gedcom file that

I do not have these options. My options are "orientation, paper size,
margins, brightness and options." Under "options" the only additional
choices are "print quality, paper type and open HP toolbox." There is
nothing pertaining to duplex printing.

If you have Jewish ancestors, you might need to record Hebrew names, Jewish dates, Holocaust information and other special data. The creators of DoroTree software (http://www.dorotree.com), which recently introduced version 2.1, incorporated features for Jewish researchers, such as:

I think that I follow what you are saying. Try this. Display a family page with the three children (as children) with no parents. Can you then attach the parents?

Hi:
I have a problem I just found. I have a record with husband and wife with 4 children listed. If I display the first child, it shows she has the right parents. But if I display the other 3 children, it does not show they have parents. I tried to attach the children one at a time to the proper parents. I get the following message (The individual you have chosen can not be attached as a child. click OK to clear message, then press F1 for help.) I pressed F1 but didn't find anything there to help me.

I recently installed FTM 2006 (Windows XP) and noticed something odd. After creating a master family tree, one containing all my branches, I thought it might be wise to go through each entry and make sure nothing was wrong. Sometimes there is a number after a persons place of birth, death and marriage. For example, one entry reads Seattle, WA; 2. I am rather puzzled by this.

Hi, folks... I've been out of town a couple of days and am just catching up on
hundreds of emails. While I think we are all concerned about those in the path of
Hurricane Rita, I do think we should get back to talking about FTM. My prayers
are with all you of in her path.

I set up the way I want things printed in my "Printer" set up. I always
have both sides printed in all my reports, family work sheets, etc. Try
looking in your printer set up under preferences. On my HP 5740 its the
last catagory in the set up.

I think you did a very good job of explaining this
I have zero problems with 2006 and I really enjoy the extra's that it does
that 2005 didn't do.
IMO, it is worth the small cost unless you don't have Ancestry.com or any
