Hi folks. Enjoyed the discussion on The Master Genealogist that I went
and bought it and have been playing with it all weekend. After using
Family Tree Maker for over five years, it is quite a change. Now, from
you specialists in TMG, I need some guidance.
I make extensive notations on land records and other court
proceedings that I find, trying to make each person come alive in the
data base, rather than just a collection of dates and places. I am
having trouble deciding on a good format to enter such narrative, and
still be able to print the data in the genealogy report. So far, I am
in a quandary. For a program that makes such extensive use of a
relational data base, it seems the gave little thought to land and court
records. Now, I may be off base, here, but I've read the get started
manual, and have scanned the reference volume, but have not reached an
optimum solution.
One other note, TMG imported over 7000 names from FTM without a
hiccup!!!!!!!
Seeking some guidance here. If you don't want to respond to the
list, please respond directly at .
