I successfully copied the Mozena family to my laptop computer where I loaded the GEDCOM into RootsMagic5. This family has strong connections to Monroe county, Ohio and links to these other families: Foote, Buskirk, Henthorn, R. David Thomas (founder of Wendy's, who married a Buskirk).

John Henthorn Family
Today I uploaded the John Henthorn family, using a GEDCOM file, to the RootsMagic5 genealogy program on my laptop computer. Prior to today this file resided on my desktop computer in a RootsMagic3 file.
Henthorn researchers believe that the first two Henthorns to arrive in the British colonies were brothers, James and John. The John Henthorn family is the smaller of the two.
My genealogy files were originally created with the LDS program, Personal Ancestral File (PAF) version 2.31, on a computer running the DOS operating system. Getting from that point to today entailed years of work and many computer disasters. It's a relief to once again have the data at my finger tips.
A Descendant report created from this file, with place and every name indices is 508 pages.

Conger File Conversion
My John Belconger (Conger) file, consisting of 44,780 records and 16,989 families is now loaded to RootsMagic5 on my laptop computer.
Here's a example of the amount of information available, a descendant report, in the PDF format, for Job Conger, son of John Belconger, is 2,279 pages.
I used GBridge to move the Conger GEDCOM file from my desktop computer to my laptop computer.
This is a major achievement in my long-standing battle to convert my genealogy information from Personal Ancestral File (PAF) version 2.31 to RootsMagic and move the data to the laptop.

George Lemley & John Otho West
Today I added a descendant chart for George Lemley & John Otho West to the Lemley section of the Collateral Families page on the HenthornFamily Wiki. To the same area I also added a link to an Ahnentafel chart for Rufus Lemuel West. There is a connection to the Yoho family.
Several years ago this information was shared by Samuel Lee West of Benson, AZ. Thanks to Mr. West for his willingness to share.

A RootsMagic Caution
|
Caution
|
|
|
RootsMagic only prompts you
to backup your databases when you exit the program. If you edit a database and
are ready to close it, but not exit the program, you must run the backup program
from the File, Backup menu before closing the
database.
The above Caution is from the RootsMagic5 documentation. I just noticed that there was no Backup prompt and did the research to learn why. It's nothing serious once users are aware of how it works.
