Hi Darrell:

I "use" Family Origins as my "other" program. I haven't made much use of it yet.
Actually, I've been importing GEDCOMs into TMG and using them directly.
Sometimes I make an MSWord file and print it out. I'll have to try using FO as
my GEDCOM program to see how that differs from TMG.

On another post you mentioned having Irish and F-C ancestry. Both my wife and I
have both French groups - Acadians and French-Canadians (Québec) - too. I have
some Nova Scotia Irish I can't find.

Have a good one,

Bud

Since then, I import GEDCOM into an earlier version of Family Origins, only because it segregates the data so nicely, then print out the reports I need and enter the data manually. Since I have a fairly good memory, except when I don't, I now have at least a chance of recalling each of the people I have added to my database, and maybe fitting seemingly disparate data together (EUREKA type insights).
