The below genealogy was sent to me recently by a lovely older lady, from Ontario, Canada who contacted me after seeing my tree on Ancestry. Her message to me was, "What more do you want on the Lloyd Harris family?" She was also smart enough to leave me a message on RootsWeb. Then she sent me three pages of her tree, I'm showing below.
This should have been an easy task; just adding some names and dates into my genealogy data base at where she and I connect. But not so fast. On Monday, I spoke with Dell because I was having problems with my computer, the very next day I received a call from the service tech who arrived at my house within four hours! In a flash, he pulled out my hard drive, and I was in shock. This is what you don't want to have happen to you. In some ways, I was very lucky because a good deal of my programs and genealogy were backed up and saved, but Not all. and not the one I wanted the most. You've all heard these stories before, so I won't relive my pain. The best thing was I had my GEDCOM on RootsWeb, and on RootsMagic To-Go drive recently backed up. However, my FTM Ver. 6 was lost, and I can't install it on my Vista now. So, between listening to the wonderful RootsTech lectures and reading many tweets and fb postings about the happenings in Salt Lake City, I tried to learn both FTM10 (which I had) and RootsMagic (which I also had, but hadn't learned). Recent webinar lessons in RootsMagic helped, but in the end, FTM10 won out, and I'll stick with that. I haven't blogged in two weeks, but I'm making up for it now.
My connecting lines are in green, and I have no idea why it doesn't line up correctly. Anyway, the below took about four hours of entry time, using the new program!
