If you have an old photo with the inscription "Sue Smith in her wedding
gown, June 8, 1899", that photo plus its inscription might be your source
for wedding information if you can't find other records (courthouse,
family Bible, etc). I would probably list the source as "Inscription on

Ron,
Having spent more years than I want to admit using various computers and
OS's, I only use letters, numbers, hyphen, and underscore - even when
working on an OS that's happy with almost any character. That way, any
file that needs to move between programs or systems has a name that will

FTST can work directly from your Legacy .fdb file or a GEDCOM file.
Native files such as .fdb contain more info than a GEDCOM and pr
In Windows, nothing is ever "running all by itself". There are numerous
background processes, some of which aren't needed.

If I know anything about an individual (i.e, Sarah Jones married Mr.
Smith's son) unknown given name is likely to be a relationship. Mr.
Smith's given name would be "husband of Sarah Jones".
I like this for 4 reasons.
1. The field isn't blank.
2. The relationship is obvious in name lists, etc.

We once had a number that was one digit different from a local duscount

I'm assuming that you copied the firle from the CD to your hard drive.
Files on CD are marked as 'read-only' because standard CD's can't be

I rarely trust ages or birth dates on tombstones unless the marker is for
someone under age 25. Otherwise, the source of that information is often
someone younger than the deceased. The death date is *usually* accurate
because the person providing the information either was there or has it
