. . . . . . It seems as if this problem is raised at each 2nd or 3rd
meeting as the *mis-use* of TMG for Family History continues.
Unfortunately for family historians, TMG is still the best evidence /
anecdote blotting paper around and many historians turn to it as a method
of computerizing their records.

Robin,
And the desires of those doing "Family History" and those doing
"Genealogy" is probably one factor that limits sales of TMG since many
items appearing on the Wish List are appropriate to family history but
are technically not genealogy. Thus Family Tree Maker, which caters to
the historian offers several features which I like (and wish for) but
don't expect to see in TMG since they don't purely follow bloodlines.
