Re: Ax List: First Notice - doi: January 31, 2006--happy new year!

Connie:

What I did was simply export out a text file of the Ahnantafels for 
my four grandparents' ancestors.  Since my grandparents (and all of 
their ancestors) are no longer living, there are no living people in 
the file.  I think what is of interest to others in the group would 
be back a couple centuries at least so leaving out the last century 
is not a big deal.
