There must have been some updates from 10/7-10/9/08. I had great difficulty with my tree, as names “just disappeared”. Tonight the names have been readded, but all the documentation AND photos have to be reloaded. This is going to take me a long time all over again.

I have not installed my copy of the 2009 update of FTM. I think I will wait to see if there are other problems that get posted. I am signed up for the Webinar on Oct 23rd.

I can’t import a FTM-16 file (abt 135 Mb) into FTM-2009. It takes about 8 hours, ending with an unknown error. Also importing the same file as GED is not possible.

I’m using Vista with 4 Gb internal memory and Intel Quad CPU 2.66GHz.

8:00pm EST is 2:00am in the morning here in Switzerland. Would it be possible to record the webinar and allow access to view for europeans?
