Hi everyone,
I decided today to rob my son of his external hard drive, and decided to do a proper back up. Having done that, I thought I'd better check to see if it worked......
I had ftm 2005, and bought 2010 in March this yr. Thought it best not to delete 2005 until I was sure abt the 2010 version. I like it, But...
Hubby has decided to buy me an apple laptop..Ok, I said, but FTM doesn't work on that....so searched and found they are releasing an apple version later this year. So I decided, wait till that comes out, but a proper back up was needed. ( I have 5760 names). SO...
I backed up to external hard drive, decided to test it, and "it" wanted to open in 2005 version not 2010. So I thought, time to delete 2005. Did that, tried again and it opened in 2010...Ok, good I thought. Only to discover, that:
All Living persons, are listed as just "living",!!! No anything else! Now this is my private file...when I up load it to ancestry I still need to be able to see stuff DOB, DOD, marriage etc ( I always privatise that file, as this was my original backup)).
I cannot figure how, all these persons are listed as just living....Does anyone know how to change it back...( It's ok cause, my normal file is still working), its just if I save to an external, shouldn't it keep the file EXACTLY the same??
Just want to be sure before I get new puter/software?
