Your name goes in the first line (1) your father goes in the number 2 line, your mother in number 3. Your paternal grandparent go off the number 2 line, grandfather is number 4, grandmother is number 5 and so on. Maternal would be off number 3 (your mother) and continue on that way. You can contact me at yosimite1@cox.net if you need more help.

#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, 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!!! :)

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.

That is up to the person who selects and arranges the photos...to the person holding the baby who may create stories out of the blue on the spot or tell tales of the people, activities or places in photos...and to the developing mind as the child is attracted to the book over time.You make a great suggestion. I've been creating a series of potential stories in the short time writing these few words. Perfect grandparent project.

FTM 2010 is, in my opinion, the best out there and I have been working on genealogy since 2000. Use the help functions, the on-line tutorials and go take a class on this software at you local history or genalogy center. I strongly urge a beginner to go take a basic genealogy class to get you started.

it has alot of different pages to fill in.... all kinds of information like: how much things were on day born, dr visits, mom/dad can write a letter to baby, etc.... it is bound. i bought this for my granddaughter and my daughter loves it.

Yes, but I would be careful. The reason I didn't continue with Roots Magic was that all my gedcom files did not transfer. I had a lot of information in my files other than the basic birth, death etc....things of that nature. If you don't have a lot of notes, it should be okay. If you are like me and have a lot of notes etc. then I would be wary.

It will connect you to FamilySearch, a free site. I have a subscription to Ancestry.com, which I prefer. You input the data found yourself either way.

Sorry I have no idea. My parents thought it was too complicated. Good luck.

Tell your mother she is a sick ageist and belongs in a hospital for the mental. And you should check out youthrights.org because this is America, and you deserve rights.

Just go to your new version of FTM and click on open and then on your old data for family tree it will automatically update what you have to the new version, might also ask you a few questions if this is what you want to do and of course you do.

It is really impressive. It is kind of like your checkbook register when you come to the end of the page and carry your balance over. You take the number and the last person and carry it over to the next page. In the first column on the back page you put the same number and name of the family member and just continue from there as if it is all on one side. I had over 300+ direct descendants. When I continued over onto the second page, I only had about half as many to continue since I only had that many traced back that far. I didn't like it so I did another one and when I came to the last column on right on front, I just flipped it over, transferred the number and name and continued directly across in the same line as the front page. I liked that better as then I can continue on as I find additional descendants. It really works well and it does fit all 15 generations. I really like this one. It was well designed. Good luck.

There are several pages in the back to write in names and addresses. I hope that answers your question.

23andMe gives you your raw data, which can easily be cross referenced with SNPedia if you are concerned about certain traits or genetic predisposition. I had an excellent experience with 23andme. Congrats on finding your relative with the ancestry service! If that was your goal then you chose the right service. Perhaps you have more family out there, who use 23andme. If so, they will let you know. :)

If you have done research and have saved information you found from a site like Ancestry.com, there should be a file or files with your family name with the file extension '.FTM'. For instance, Jones.FTM. This is found, in Windows, under: My Documents/Family Tree Maker. You can then import or transfer that file to you new computer. If you are asking if you can install Family Tree Maker on a new computer without the original install CDs, then I think you will have to buy a new copy of FTM. Sorry.
