#SaturdayNightGenealogyFun
It’s Saturday Night – Time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1) If you have your family tree research in a Genealogy Management Program (GMP), whether a computer software program or an online family tree, figure out how to find how many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database (hint: the Help button is your friend!)
2) Tell us which GMP you use, and how many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database(s) today in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook comment.
I use RootsMagic 8 to manage my genealogy research. I keep my data in one file. That file contains
- 20,318 people
- 6,701 families
- 63,821 events
- 8,536 places
- 5,165 sources
- 22,397 citations
- 10,273 media items
Since I keep all of my research in one file, I have quite a few ‘bushes’. Many of my bushes are the result of my Crawford research. Sometimes, these ‘bushes’ are people of the same name living in the same area as my ancestors. These bushes may also be the result of FAN (friends, associates and neighbors) club research. By looking at the ‘count trees’ data, I find that my primary tree has 17,751 people. Thus, I have over 2,500 individuals in the bushes in my file.
Marcia, You are definitely a techie person up there with Randy with your 22,000+ citations. My citations are almost all still in my Notes sections, but I need to rectify that in 2022.
My citations range from barely enough to current standards. I moved from PAF to The Master Genealogist because TMG allowed a citation for every fact. Good or bad, they reflect years of research. I likely have quite a few that could be merged.
