kutoja: I will post a query today Thank You all for all your help love & light No I will do that
alt: it is a must kutoja, if you want to resolve and document your findings
kutoja: do you recommend any particular genealogy software
karoshi: alt how often do you update your tribal pages?
alt: and please be patient, you aren't going to find all of the answers in a week, month, year, decade even.... some of us have been at it for better than 20+ years and we're still seeking answers to our questions
vkn: I was on your TP yesterday alt following your SLAUGHTER response
alt: karoshi. i update once a month... March update is due sometime this week.
kutoja: can someone post a link to alts Tribal Page
karoshi: Cool. I need to do mine. I've gotten lazy.
alt: http://mydatabase.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=mydatabase&view=9&ver=2363
kutoja: Thanks
alt: URL for Art's Families & Other Folk
vkn: There you go karoshi
karoshi: Hmm vkn?
vkn: oops I meant kutoja sorry 'bout that karoshi karoshi

alt: karoshi, I update with photos & other stuff thru the month, but I upload an updated GEDCOM file monthly.
karoshi: What do you use for your GEDCOM?
kutoja: what is gedcom ?
vkn: Well will talk with all tomorrow. I will be testing a new GEDCOM today following your pattern and procedure alt
alt: the GEDCOM feature of my Roots Magic software package karoshi
karoshi: Ok. I need to get Roots Magic. I used my ancestry account initially.
alt: A gedcom file file is what you create from your family tree research kutoja
vkn: Bye for now
Selma: kutoja..if you are just beginning I suggest you get a piece of paper and pencil and fill in an Ancestry chart..
kutoja: ok Thank You
alt: karoshi, I personally think it is better to have a 'database' that is stand alone and not associated with Ancestry or those other online Family Tree programs
kutoja: Thats what I will do
karoshi: That's what I've been told too alt. I just haven't made the switch yet.
kutoja: If anyone has a blank ancestry chart please email me kutoja06@aim.com Thanks Michael Stiggle
alt: you can always put your 'stuff' up on an online site karoshi and with an offline package you can better control what the public can see of your work. kutoja, just google blank genealogy forms
Selma: Have to run folks..have a great day..STAY WARM and DRY..karoshi..you stay near the air conditioner Bye
karoshi: By Selma
alt: laters
karoshi: I have my tp pages and ancestry. I'm kinda using the tp as my database.
alt: must be quittin time, folks are skedaddlin' outa here LOL
karoshi: Must be!!
alt: that's good karoshi and when you get a Roots Magic package you can download what you have on TP into that package for starters.... keeps you from re-inputting your data into Roots Magic
karoshi: Ok. I've been told to get it before. And I do have a lot of instances where the same person connects to many different people.
alt: that why I recommend only one (1) tree in a "universal" database.... the connections of many people to many family lines
karoshi: I understand that completely.
alt: the packages will assist you in separating out the families in any combinations that you may chose.
karoshi: Guess that will be my next project after I update tribal pages.
alt: similar to how TP allows you to color codes lines of Ancestry
karoshi: Oh cool! One more question before I go. Is the court house always the last stop for records?
alt: I have nine (9) major family ancestral lines color coded on TP for records that are generated for government use I would have to say yes .... court house & health dept.
karoshi: Ok. I'm at several dead ends.
alt: and don’t forget Newspapers
karoshi: I've looked at the newspapers too. Those are my favorites! Thanks for all the help!
alt: okay, gotta run y'all ... take care
karoshi: Have a good day! Stay warm.
