Carl, I was all ready to complain (not FLAME you even in private) about the fact that you stated AF was essentially a dead data base. First I wanted to get the story from the source - Family History Center - where I volunteer. No one was sure. So I called Salt Lake Operations. You're almost right. Although they are accepting input it goes into a holding file with no output. None since 5 Jan 1998. They are "working" on a replacement program. The person I talked to said they hoped it would happen before they retired in about 10 years. Very sad. Cal in California
