2006 (Version 16)	We've been using the Family Tree Maker genealogy software since 1992 to maintain my genealogy database and love it. Please email me if you have some database experiences you wish to share.	Here's the link to our User Home Page! It is public accessible and is available to everyone.

"UncleGED is a free GEDCOM-to-HTML conversion tool.... not to be confused with a character in a very funny 1960's sitcom... that was Uncle Jed Clampett, kin to the Bodine family... no relation." I love UncleGED! From Family Tree Maker, I exported four GEDCOM files to separate directories, modified the index and a few other html files manually and was ready to publish to the web. The generation is wonderful but not yet perfect. I'm in hopes the family children and personal facts can someday be sorted, but UncleGED has provided me with a quick and easy way to publish family genealogy independent of today's big ancestor and genealogy companies. So here's my data for free! Please email me at janders981@sbcglobal.net with questions and comments.

These are various county, cemetery, and genealogy links to our ancestors. If we're related, please contact me! I'll add your site too. Click the family name to reveal each row!

Selecting DNA Projects
	There are some great DNA projects out there. Several of my family members belong to some. Follow these links: Anderson DNA, Youngblood DNA Wallace DNA Group 10, and Allen I recommend joining a DNA project, but there are several companies with separate projects from which to choose. Review several companies, correspond with each project leader, and ask lots of questions. Select a project where the leader and others are active! Correspond at length before making your choice. First get to know the people in the project. Select a project where the leader is using DNA to support research, both yours and the project's research. DNA without research or DNA justifying incomplete research will cause confrontations. Granted, DNA will tell who is related to whom, but research will tell you how they connect. Names on DNA groups are dependent upon sound research. Avoid a project where the leader is not flexible and not considering the research and alternatives. His research is just that, his research. Be prepared to substantiate your research. The minimal markers don't really provide much information. Start with 37 or 67 markers and be prepared to escalate with more testing. As siblings will have the same markers, strive to find a project where siblings can join without providing their own markers.
