Maps/RTF ?'s

Joseph,

Thanks for putting those maps out there. Those are some great maps with a lot of detail.

glad you liked them. Did you find the small ranchos that your people came from??

I agree with you about changing the focus of the group. It helps the whole group when everyone contributes. I think a good case in point is how you and Angie found a link between you. This was made possible by both of you posting your genealogies. I have a lot more data that isn't in the reports I posted out here. The reason the data isn't there is because I created ancestry reports which only generate my direct line ancestors. I have data on non-direct line ancestors that I would be willing to share if I knew they were of interest to someone. I'll never know who might be interested in them unless everyone posts their genealogy reports.

I'll continue to encourage those in the group to send their work in. I know that Rich and Kitty Cortez have already sent me a lot of their work that is almost ready to go into the files section but I was away when they were ready and we're now getting back to it.

I have another old question for you. . .boy sometimes a person just needs to admit or continue to admit they are a bit or a lot ignorant in the technical field. . .

before we were talking about the differences between my rtf and your rtf files. And the differences between using pdf and rtf. You made a point that depending on what software package people were using would determine which of either pdf or rtf should be used. I'm still kind of missing it right here. I use FTM 10. I'm just barely getting started learning a little about PAF 5. Will pdf or rtf work for me or how would I go about testing to see if one or the other will work for me. How would I go about phrasing to the group if they are able to open one or the other of these files.

Also can you figure out why our rtf files seem to be different. here is exactly what my FTM "File" drop down menu option says:

"Export to PDF/TXT/RTF"

then under that there is only one choice for RTF---"Formatted Text (*.rtf)"

I wonder what if anything I might be doing is producing our different files?
