Sharing really does matter
As I had stated before in a prior blog, I was bumbed by not finding my backup of geneaology files.
Well, we went to Tulsa this weekend and spent Friday night with my wife's Aunt. She also has a laptop and cable internet access. I had to check on my Ebay and seen where I had installed the Family Tree Maker on her laptop. I thought, hmmm.
I checked into the FTW folder and low-behold a Geneaology folder was in there containing all my lost files! I must had given her all my backups, letters, pics ect. Totally elated, I could have hugged her.
It was pretty obvious by her response, she had never really looked at them. However, at that point, I didn't care. I will be able to pull off all the files when she comes back in my town (I didn't have my memory stick and she doesn't have a cd writer). I was able to email most of the gedcom files to myself. I checked the folder and it about 100 megs of data.
So, this allows me to check, update my info, after 5 years of me not touching it, without having to re-enter my already contained data.
