Re: [LegacyUG] 67 foot descendant chart

My ancestry is part Icelandic, and that ties in with the traditional Norse genealogies from Snorri Sturluson. I get 60 generations back to someone born estimated A.D. 30. But that's from the ancestor book, which in effect grabs a least number of generations path, and I descend through many

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source Data Entry Consistency

Re: [LegacyUG] 8MB attachments

Re: [LegacyUG] changed married / maiden names
