I used GedStar Pro on my Palm with another genealogy program for many years.
It's an excellent program.
Now I have an iPod and an iPad. I use Legacy so I use Families. I tried
several programs including FamViewer and GedViewer on the iPad. GedViewer,
to my mind, is better than FamViewer. Quite a
Wes - Your approach seems logical, although I have a few questions:
1. Why do you first save images as TIFFs, then convert to JPEG? Why not
save as JPEGs from the beginning?
2. Where and how do you maintain original documents, such as birth
certificates? Should these be kept in a safe?

TIFF generally retains fine details better than JPEG. JPEG is a 'lossy' format.
The more times that you edit a JPEG image and overwrite it,
I'm one that would hope Millennia would just stick to Legacy and let the
third parties continue to interface with such.

Any time you have to use a GEDCOM to interface to an external

GEDCOM standard does not allow for the detailed field specifications
that are needed for SourceWriter style sources. When the SourceWriter

You could print out a Pedigree Report for each of the ten people.
However, if you wanted something in book format, you could print out an
Ancestor Book for each person. This could contain all the events and
information which you found on each person in their respect ancestries. If you

I do not see anything wrong with your search string. It matches what I have
and am having no problem with it. I am not sure how findagrave reacts to a
middle name vs middle initial. That is will findagrave find Mary Lou Johnson
if the name entered is Mary L. Johnson.
I do know it
I puschased a hand-held a few years back, Palm One, never got the darn thing to
work. So now it's just a fashion statment sitting next to my computer.
Good luck with hand-held.

Viola Mather Hall = 0
Viola Hall = 147 (Probably as expected. Lots of middle names added though)
Viola M Hall = 19 (Viola May Gordon Hall) Hmmm ?
All with the string below.
If this off topic, I give up !

I just did one very similar to this yesterday. It was a marriage record from
the Drouin Collection of birth and marriage records from all Quebec churches
from 1621-1962 (also at Ancestry.com). An extreme lumper might use the name
of the collection as the Master Source but that would
Interesting. I had thought to include such records at the church (actually
synagogue) level, especially since I have a number of delayed birth records
all from the same synagogue, all part of the Drouin Collection as well.
Since all of my Drouin records are all from Montreal, from a variety of

I use Families on an iPad and agree that it isn't practical for much data entry
but that's fairly easy to work around. If I'm browsing the Internet away from

save it on the iPad and input it later. With books

You will need to have another applicaton to convert the Legacy files
to the proper format if you're talking about iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
or Android.
Families for iOS or Android or GedStar Android are excellent programs.
Those applications will also convert that format back to your Family

I can't imagine how anyone could think this of topic. Being able to search the

Thank You !
Great string. You must have spent quite a bit of time for over 100.
Default is 21~23. I have spent hours and hours on one and can't get it
right. Some day ..
