According to the description, with it you can "Save photos and attach them to people in your family tree. Save text as stories for people in your family tree. Save external web links to people in your family tree. Access your Ancestry Quick Links. Quickly access your Family Tree." Sounds pretty neat, but unfortunately it works only with Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 3, so I haven't been able to try it out yet.Keith Rigglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211666785587732418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-36453176002787369172011-06-06T02:29:27.063-06:002011-06-06T02:29:27.063-06:00Most famous internet auction site has single field...Most famous internet auction site has single field search, with separate fields for types of results (price range, location, from particular vendor). The reason this works very well is that it allows boolean language, including allowing a very large number of exclusionary words (wild cards allowed!) that result in excluding particular types of listing titles.<br /><br />This works well to counteract vendors' plaguey tendency to salt titles with irrelevant words in effort to increase viewing traffic (for what actually is not being looked for by viewer).Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-61447865119226333692011-06-05T22:52:12.126-06:002011-06-05T22:52:12.126-06:00bGood luck on the set up of your new computer.

However, I was very lucky. I had not backed up and I was blessed enough that someone saved my hard drive.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920666964718705819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-57496432645937541602011-06-03T15:15:08.891-06:002011-06-03T15:15:08.891-06:00http://usgwarchives.net/search/searcharchives.html...http://usgwarchives.net/search/searcharchives.html<br />The above URL is the location of the "new" search engine at Rootsweb.
