  • This planet is populated by cousins

    Hello Mike!

    Everyone on this planet is a distant cousin of someone else.
    This planet is populated by cousins. :D


    That is very true, and the purpose of the website http://wikitree.com where I get my information from. They send a weekly newsletter to list how we are all connected as one big family.

    Do you know anything about Brother's Keeper (BK) geneology
    software? A friend had been using that on her WinXP system for
    years. Eventually, she moved to a Win7 pc. But after a long
    pause, she only NOW is getting the chance to use BK once more.
    I tried it a bit myself but find it a bit awkward. It looks so
    Win98-like. I have to remember to see if there is an export
    feature that might allow her to use Geneology.com or something.

    I personally use Family Tree Maker from: https://www.mackiev.com/ftm/
    I have the paid version but it is very feature rich. You can import a gedcom to create
    your tree, then break it into short segments to be able to upload a small gedcom to a
    place like wikitree.com ( a free resource ).

    FTM allows you to get hints from Ancestry.com, and other sites as well.

    I don't know anything about Brothers Keeper. Try FTM to compare the two.

    We would have to be, especially if you believe in the NOAH or GENESIS stories, right?

    Wouldn't it be cool to see how all sysOPs are related? We live in different areas of the world but are all related in some way.
