#1 is you. #2 is your father and 3 your mother. Male lines are the even numbers and female spouses are odd numbers in all generations. Paternal lines are upper part of the chart and maternal the lower half. I've used a 15 gen chart to get the big picture that even computers can't do.

Yes 5yrs. There are pages for Mommy's family, Daddy's family, pages about mommy and daddy, before arrival, baby shower, a letter from mommy, a letter from daddy, "my arrival", welcome home pages. "watch me grow" pages, first outings, first vacations. 1st , 2nd, 3rd, & 4th birthdays, first day of school. Also special memory pages.

Roots Magic is a standalone program and is not connected with Ancestry.com but is put out by the people at Familysearch.org. You can import your family tree data from earlier versions of RootMagic, some versions of Family Tree Maker, some version of Family Origins, or is the file is a GEDCOM format. I was a subscriber to Ancestry and when the "lease" was done, I downloaded all the data into a GEDCOM file and imported that directly into Roots Magic. It was seamless.

Ryan, I take responsibility for my choices. I made an error when I replied to you in the manner I did. I take care of my 95 year old mom and unless anyone has had that experience, it is not possible to know what a caregiver experiences. I felt awful after I responded to your email. I never received one of these inquiries before and did not recognize it. Again, I deeply apologize to you for my miscommunication. Thanks for your forgiveness. Kanani

Good Morning Amy - You would be best served by contacting deSantis. They will be able to give you the best information. Bill A.

I imported from Family Tree maker sucessfully.. I always make sure to do a back-up before I do any importing or other changes to my data. Hope this helps.

You can use it by itself, but it will only have the data you input. I have mine set to auto sync with Ancestry so that either will update the other. Then if I am somewhere without internet, like a small county courthouse, I can do my research, input it on my laptop, and sync it later.

It will be clear that your parents are or are not your biological parents if you and they get tested. If a parent is unavailable, you could get your grandparents tested or your aunts or uncles or your cousins, as surrogates for the parents, but that takes a little more interpretation. In my family, our daughter shares 50% with each of my wife and me, and there is matching all through each chromosome, so it is very clear. Note that a several 23andme users have posted threads on the discussion groups about how they found that they were adopted, or their mother got pregnant by a man other than the Dad, or through artificial insemination.

Maybe Dennis is a senior, or maybe he is just helping a senior with the selection. I am trying to find something for my parents, who are 80-ish. They had a computer a while back for word processing, but have never gone online. I know they would love it if they had a very user-friendly machine. Dennis, did you find something good? I'd love to know.

I'm a genealogist and buy these by the dozens, so that I can use a different folder color for each family line, one folder per couple and their children. I put the family group sheet in the front (so it shows through clearly), then copies of documents, other charts, To Do lists, correspondence, resource info, online catalog printouts, website printouts, etc...anything I'm currently working on. Then when I go to a research repository - or find some new website with potentially helpful information - I have everything I need in one place.

It is difficult. The printed info is sorely inadequate. After significant delays and trying this-n-that, I finally worked it out. Unfortunately, it has been some months ago, and I'm unable to recall and advise. Hope all goes well for you. They are worth it...in the end.

Yes, there is space for photos, invites, words, etc. Lots of details/info/memories can be included. It is a super cute baby book, I love it!!! :)
