Mike,
How dare you even consider jumping on and complaining about so many people
not sticking to the topic in the subject when you posted the following under
the subject of family name history.
I don't and never will use a web-based mailing product. To me, email in

Phil,
I'm glad to see that message. Yesterday I ran a potential problems report
and was amazed at 11 pages of people born before the marriage date. Some of
them I have corrected and some I am still sorting out, but it amazes me how
many are accurate. I had no idea and now I know why.
Thanks.

Give it a rest Mike, nobody likes being flamed. This list is very

Thanks for the thoughts, GenSmarts is a nice research tool, but I
should be realistic with limitations, such as some very odd dates at
times. Still, when you are trying to figure out if someone may have
been alive during particular events such as wars etc, the GEST dates
can be useful.

Thanks for the thoughts Heather, I'll need to do some more research on

Spanish and Dutch names through this list, so it was worth a shot at
seeing if others had experience with Norwegian and Russian names.

Genealogy software interprets the gedcom contents and presents them in a
viewer friendly form. Therefore you need to import the gedcom to the program
rather than just using the program to view the raw gedcom.
