RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree Maker' users

[Richard Francis Pimentel]

As a onetime user of FTM I was happy with the product but soon became annoyed 
by the yearly or bi-yearly upgrades which I saw no improvement it the overall 
performance of the product. As a result I switched to “the Master Genealogist” 
(TGM) which was discontinued last year. I am still using TGM and am having no 
performance problems with it on Windows 7, 8, and 10. I know there will be the 
day when I will have to switch but in the mean time I like having all my data 
on my computer and on my backups and not having to access the internet every 
time I want to use the program. I also like the Idea of not having to spend $ 
every year to keep my program current.

Yes, this is a travesty.  I have already been contacted by RootsMagic and have 
downloaded their software.  There is a free version and a premium version. The 
premium version is $9.95 a year.  I uploaded my gedcom from FTM and so far, so 
good.  It included my media, notes which have my links to records, and in 
testing it out yesterday I have to say I like it a lot.  I am keeping FTM as is 
and working with both until I feel comfortable trashing FTM.  I must admit it 
is easier in my opinion to use with the biggest plus in editing, deleting etc.  
There is also reports, book publishing, etc.  I also do NOT like that Ancestry 
is giving us no option but to use the new graphic interface instead of the 
classic interface which in my opinion is easier to use.  With the new graphic 
interface it is harder to find what you need and then to search or edit.  Only 
one person's opinion.  But I will download my DNA and discontinue Ancestry when 
my subscription is up.  RootsMagic will be trying to work with Ancestry in the 
futureI don't know if that is good or bad.  I like RootsMagic the way it is.

I have been faithful to FTM, though I stopped upgrading at version 16 (2006). 
Having a considerable database (300 000 people and growing) it is hard to 
export it to another program. I have tried Rootsmagic and Legacy, but they 
don't meet my expections.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree Maker' users

[Marilyn Thompson]

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.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CHILDREN of João Afonso das Grotas Fundas

[Shirley Allegre]

If you get this info on Joao Afonso da Pimentel's children, would you please 
forward it to me.   
I have 5 children for Joao X Isabel Gonsalves.   I descend from their son 
CAPTAIN Joao Afonso Pimentel o Velho (My # 57,184).
I estimate that he was born about 1490.  I don't know where.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: CHILDREN of João Afonso das Grotas Fundas

[JR]

Hello Manita. They don't exist because they didn't survive. You are talking 
pre-1600's. The fact is we are fortunate to find anything before 1700. The 
information in RR and others was gleaned from wills, inventories, and other 
such civil records from the registrars. I believe RR did cite those. Not 
sure if the Registrar books are online or not. I have never seen them. You 
have to appreciate many fine native Sao Miguel scholars and genealogists 
have gone before us, so it is not likely you will find anything more than 
what they have published and what RR, Canto, Carlos Machado and other 
lesser known scholars have found. Some of those original sources have also 
disappeared or decayed beyond legibility. Sometimes there is disagreement 
on old lines, but you have to be able to read the original sources and cite 
them to even know the difference. This is not likely unless you are a 
scholar in the Azores. Not to dissuade you, but perhaps you should contact 
someone on Sao Miguel who is an expert in Genealogy if you are serious 
about doing this kind of work. If I knew of any, I would forward their 
names. Perhaps someone reading can help you with that. For me, I accept the 
published findings of those scholars, give or take a few errors.

Best of luck on your search,

JR
