And, boy, is it great! I just uploaded and it only took a few minutes. You
have the option to include "more about" notes or not, you can include your
sources or not, you can "clean" the info on your living folks---many options
available.

later, to edit it (which I just did, also). Then, send it up! So easy and
so fast. It took HOURS to send it to the Family Tree Maker site. Just
minutes at RootsWeb, and it's much more complete.

> Also, you can add "post-ems" to anyone's data, and you can be notified
when someone adds a post-em to yours, so that you can connect.

few bugs yet, but there's a message board where the fellow taking care of
the GEDs is posting responses to the suggestions. And he is fast.
