Cool, I met a cousin on FR! That's right. I have an old genealogy. But my genealogy program I started two computers ago with Parsons. The .fow file it generated could be read by Rootsmagic, so I upgraded to that.

Now they are all on my PC which has suffered a soft or hard crash and can't lift the tower any more to get it somewhere to rescue those files.

I do have an older GEDCOM but I had added a lot more and need to rescue them. The computer people I trusted and were close left. If it is still possible, I would like to buy a device that will slave that hd to my present computer.

Anyway, I am very honored to make your acquaintance. What is your line? I used to help Arthur Osgood in FL with any good Osgood information I found even though not my line. Arthur, was the one who told me about the Osgood book and helped me but have been out of touch with him for years.

PS I have double Osgood genes and all the others in that part of the tree because Levi's daughter Caroline Osgood married my gr grandfather. They were first cousins.

I've never done a dna test. I'm no particular fan of ancestry but did do a lot of research there. I got proficient in getting the most out of their search engine. Then they revamped the whole site, and I had too much difficulty finding anything, including the Gary Boyd Roberts books. He has a couple videos on youtube.
