Subject: [TMG-L:] Re: TMG-L: importing-merging records

My message that is still unanswered is similar to Randy's: I have
received an e-mail message from a relative, GEDCOM file, and want to know
how to import it into TGM.

Also, pictures received in e-mail, family tombstones. How do I import
them into TGM?
Thanks,
Rebecca
