Hello Mike!
Everyone on this planet is a distant cousin of someone else.
This planet is populated by cousins. :D
That is very true, and the purpose of the website http://wikitree.com where I get my information from. They send a weekly newsletter to list how we are all connected as one big family.
Do you know anything about Brother's Keeper (BK) genealogy
software? A friend had been using that on her WinXP system for
years. Eventually, she moved to a Win7 pc. But after a long
pause, she only NOW is getting the chance to use BK once more.
I tried it a bit myself but find it a bit awkward. It looks so
Win98-like. I have to remember to see if there is an export
feature that might allow her to use Geneology.com or something.
I personally use Family Tree Maker from:
https://www.mackiev.com/ftm/
I have the paid version but it is very feature rich. You can import a gedcom to create
your tree, then break it into short segments to be able to upload a small gedcom to a
place like wikitree.com ( a free resource ).
FTM allows you to get hints from Ancestry.com, and other sites as well.
I don't know anything about Brothers Keeper. Try FTM to compare the two.
