Hi folks. Enjoyed the discussion on the Lower-Delmarva list on The
Master Genealogist so much 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 experience folks who
are experts in TMG, I would like some guidance.
I make extensive notations on land records and other court
proceedings that I find, in an attempt 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.
Has anyone developed a good approach to this?
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
