@LenGarc whats the websiteyou used?
Its funny you should say that, it may seem completly impossible but when i
think about it i could be related to cliff richard, his real name is harry
webb, my family are mainly welsh but my great grandmother was edith webb
and was born in england,..makes me think, anyway, ive gone back to 1886.
Man who cares they are all DEAD DEAD dEAD gone.
Genealogy is one way people connect with the past and helps them relate to
history, a worthy pursuit for any individual. I had absolutely no interest
in history until I started to look up my family tree and discovered many of
my ancesters participated, for better or worse, in many historical events.
some sweet info here
I have traced my line back to 1200+ BC
@AustinWorthington Actually, we all go back to Adam and Eve, which was
thousands of years before the 300s.
my family tree goes back 500 years
The international museum for family history in Eijsden- Am going there with
my wife next year! I have heard they have got excellent wine and a
beautiful landscape there!
How do I find out mine if I’m from Lithuania and my surname is changed a
bit ?
Exactly what is your point? As I said, the nazis used a lot of resources to
kill jews and others. If you do a good deed and some evil person twists
that into murder than thanks you for your good deed, does that turn your
good deed into evil making you evil? In effect you are implying that the
LDS and IBM are guilty of assisting the nazis. VW and Mercedes were used by
the nazis to kill jews. Does this mean that people who drive those vehicles
today are guilty of helping the nazis?
I can’t wait to do this with my family. I wish others would take initiative
into doing so as well, especially the prejudice. 🙂
@fancifelle The census was notorious for that, especially if people were
immigrants in gthe early-1900s (like my ancestors).
@suitofw thats right everyone is in someway related to someone famous or
notorious. also this is the best tool I have found to search for your
family tree and ancestors: bit.ly/HENz5z?=poanuy
Wow! David’s ancestor was a scribe for Martin Luther? That’s a great find!
This is a very good presentation on how genealogy makes you feel and how
exciting it is.
One of my ancestors(10th great grandfather) was the first Italian Immigrant
in the New World(USA) Thanks Ancestry.com
good work here
trader0108, the nazis used a lot of resources to do their evil deeds. I do
not know the answer to your questions though if I am reading between the
lines correctly, it seems you are really asking did IBM conspire with the
LDS to help the nazis kill jews. I doubt either would be true. I also would
say that is is a meaningless pursuit. If you went after everyone or
everything that the nazis used, you would be going after most of the world.
Thank you for sharing your video with us!
I also have alot of videos on genealogy and I am making more!
Please upload videos with higher quality 480p is not good enough ;-(
lots of good tips to utilize FTM 2014. But why does FTM show hints and
they don’t show up in my Ancestry tree?? also why does it take so long to
upload media from Ancestry to FTM?
When you say “I have transcribed them” and will now merge the info – what
do you mean? Isn’t the “merge” the transcribing? Probably obvious
question – but not to me. Thanks for the you tube tutorials. Mary A
I would like to know if *Family Tree Maker 2014* is bilingual Anglish and
French, and how much its cost
Crista – I have a Mac, and so am wondering if there is going to be a new
Mac version. I have FTM for Mac 2, but really am envious of some of the new
tricks you were showing. Are any of them in the future for us apple geeks?
The merge feature with the ability to merge to more than one family member
is very cool. However I rarely use the merge feature because I don’t like
the way the citation attaches. Has this been updated? Would live to see a
feature for copying family citations where I don’t need to correct the
reference note individually. You mentioned the source template being saved,
where in FTM do I save a custom template? (FTM 2012)
Crista: I’m a keen FTM 2012 user and I’m excited at the prospect of
upgrading to FTM 2014. However, there seem to be many online complaints
about FTM 2014 with particular regard to loading family trees and with
online synch to ancestry.com. There are apparently many bugs. I will not
upgrade until I am convinced that these bugs have been sorted out. Do you
have any idea as to when these bugs will be fixed and whether the
development team is working on these issues? Thanks & best regards.
How many computers can you put Family Tree Maker on?
Coming soon, Gwen.
When is Mac version going to be ready?
Kinda cool how Family Tree Maker has almost caught up to MacFamilyTree.
Maybe by the next version?
Crista, I like the way you transcribe the census records. I was wondering
if you could give me an example or templet to go by. Thanks
Bought it solely because of Crista. The pressure is on! lol!
cool 🙂
Cautionary question! I had a lot of trouble with FTM 2012 (my first) where
it would refuse to sync with online ancestry.com. Even figured out a way to
safeguard! (basically, merge VERY FREQUENTLY, so that if I had to, I could
spin off the people I’d changed to another tree, then delete them and sync,
the merge them back in). The question? What do you know about the present
STABILITY of this new version?
I just reported issues to be fixed to the tech support on the calendar
report (really neat report) and wait for them to be fixed. My current
question is if there is a training video to make or input address info
(street, city, state and zip) to use with the new address report. How do
you do this and is there a way to import the information from a program
like MS Outlook instead of having to manually entering them. I would like
to see a video on (calendar, address, birthday, anniversary reports).
Purchased the download for FTM 2014, I was unable to launch the program
because I use firefox. I was told it would only launch if you used outlook
express. Not very happy. Waste of money.
Linda – I’m not sure what Outlook Express has to do with FTM. Give Member
Services a call at 1-800-Ancestry and ask to speak to someone specifically
on the Family Tree Maker team.
