Software Update

Family Tree Maker 2006 - The new software is in, and I have upgraded. For 100% compatibility, if you want to use the FTW files and share them with me, you might consider upgrading. There seems to be complete file compatibility between 2005 and 2006.

Request for Assistance

Descendants of John Alexander Vail Project
HELP!!!! I am overwhelmed and am asking for assistance! I need volunteers to take a line and coordinate and consolidate the data for each and help me update and validate data. If you have the inclination, please get in touch with james@vailweb.net and I will give you details. Some of the lines are big enough that we may need to further sub-divide the work, and we will make that decision together.
