In the past, when there has been a change in the file structure it has not

On the release of 7.5.0.154, I recommended that he updated.

For my w cents' worth I ID everything I find on an individual by the Legacy

Could you create a search list for all the individuals you want to edit

Hi,
From what little I could see the only problem with the Families App is that
it does not seem to have a source screen shoot available. How does someone
who uses the app check to see what sources are already in the app's family

Curious,
