was also visiting from out of town, would be leaving the day before I
got there, I asked her to please stay so we could meet. As we sat at

pencils supplied for people to fill in with information they think is missing,
so you can look it over before altering your datab

At my last reunion, I split
the family file up into smaller family files, and passed out every a copy of their family in

Well, at least make a backup before you start...
