I am so excited about Roots Magic
I have a database of 12,000 names that I typed in PAF from my grandma in 1956, but haven’t known how or where to go from there. I have been trying to clean up and verify. Now I can with confidence that I am doing it right. I am a Ward Family History Consultant that really hasn’t known how to help the people in my ward. Thank you Roots Magic.

Al, click on “Add” on the menu or toolbar, and you can add an unlinked person, spouse, parents, or child. There is a tutorial on the CD which covers how to get started. If you did the download, you can go to:

and click the link there to view the tutorial.

Deb, do Tools > Merge > Duplicate search merge from the RootsMagic menu.

Are you ever going to have RootsMagic enabled to work with a word processor like Word? Sometimes I want to copy blocks of information to discuss with relatives, but can only copy/paste within program restraints; not helpful.

Perhaps you already have this feature and I just haven’t figured it out yet but I would like an automatic search for duplicate records. So far the records I have merged were right next to each other but I know that I have at least a couple that aren’t and I don’t know an easy way to find the duplicated people. PAF and Ancestral Quest both have this feature. If RM4 already has this, please tell me how to use it. I have just begun using RM last month so I am still learning.

Why did you not set up a source wizard for the Scottish census records as you did for the Welsh one?

I love RootMagic. Bruce and the team, they are the bomb. Thanks for all your hard work.. I’ve been on board since the first version of Family Origins and the ups and downs of all that
As you may see I’m getting older now and my eyes are getting weaker. Could we have stronger (darker) lines in the children’s field of the Family tab.

It will be good to learn a new program that works well with the New Family Search. Right now I am learning how to run another program like this one, to do my genealogy with. I hope I can learn this one better than I am with the one I am now learning, Legacy.
