NB before you reinstall you have to totally uninstall

3 is ok
4.02 of 31Jan 2002
is what I use with the old CDs which came with version 2

4.00 is on the 2002 CD with an updater on the same CD

works fine with Win2000

I got Vital Records Index Britsh Isles - Second edition for the sake of the new viewer

Being in Brum means I can get to the Distribution Centre in 20 mins

I use www.familysearch.org for global searches

and these days the CDs only for problem children

with the full text advanced neighbours search

like searching on three first names and an occupation

where the surname is unknown or a typo
