Joao Ventura and others interested in another genealogical database. I just talked the owner of Ancestral Quest. He told me AQ will handle your 300,000 without any problem. In the next few days there will be a new version of AQ out. It will make exporting from FTM to AQ a smooth transfer. He asked that you give him a few days and it will be out.
He is usually pretty acurate with his time frame. I do not work for them. The owner is a personal friend.
