Hallo Forscherkollegen !
Wie kann ich eine (*.DB) Datenbank �ffnen oder importieren um deren Daten in
Access oder Excel weiterzuverarbeiten ? (Ich habe Access und Excel '95
auf Win '98)
mit freundlichen Gr��en
with kindly regards

Vermutlich handelt es sich um eine Paradox-Datenbank. Importieren kann
man diese z.B. unter MS-Access:
Dazu zuerst eine neue Datenbank anlegen:
Datei -> Neue Datenbank anlegen -> ...
Anschliessend die Daten aus der alten Datenbank importieren:
Datei -> Externe Daten -> Importieren -> (Bei Dateityp nun
"Paradox" auswaehlen) und die alte Datenbank angeben zum
importieren.
Eigentlich gehoert diese Frage uebrigens nicht in diese Mailingliste
sonder waere in derjenigen fuer Genealogie-Programme beser aufgehoben.

Greetings;
Another question about data banks and spread sheets. As I am new at
genealogy research, I end up with bits and pieces of information about many
B�scher's / Bueschers who may or may not be related.
What do you people do with all these "tidbits" of information about
potential relatives? For information on my relatives that is confirmed
through reliable resources I use the LDS software called Personal Ancestry
File. But for all the other information I have started a data base of my
own using Excel to "store" the other peoples information. Does this sound
like a good system?
Are there other ways to manage information such as old fashioned recipe
cards? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Have a great day.

Lee: I also use PAF for my genealogy. For the information that
may someday connect, I have file folders, labeled either with a
family name or a county or state. I started out with file cards and
found it too cumbersome. Dorothy L. Miller
Hi Lee,

potential relatives?
I use FTM for my side of the family and PAF for my husbands side of
the family. On all those little tidbits I find, and can't make a connection.
I have a folder called "maybe's" where I store them and when I think some
thing connects I dig it out and if it does, it is then put into the folder
with that particular family information.
I myself do not make a separate database for these "maybe's," just file
it until I find something fits with that information and then type it into
my genealogy program.
Are there other ways to manage information such as old fashioned recipe
cards? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
With the receipe cards, I use them to store all my passwords that I use on
different webpages, also put the snailmail address, email address. and
phone no. of each contact that I have in doing my genealogy (this is for
safekeeping in case of a computer crash) I also have all this saved in
word document. I am sure others could give you some ideas on this.

Not really. You're working on inventing the wheel again. The time it
would take you to come up with anything decent which you would
then discard because there are better programs on the market
should be invested in gnealogy not programming.
For a good general 'storage' of of misc data see CLOOZE. For a
good genealogy program which wil take anything you can give it,
see TMG.
Fred
Now that's a good idea. I use www.gator.com to store all my
passwords and logins on my computer but that doesn't help if the
thing crashes and one has to start over again.

Lee:
Try downloading a demo of The Master Genealogist at
http://www.whollygenes.com. I had tried PAF, FTM and BK over the last 15
years and was never satisfied with their flexibility to add EVERYTHING I
wanted for a person.... until TMG. It will allow you to put everything in
under a chronological order event 'tag'. You can make special tags like
'recipes' if you desire .. (so you can pull and print all recipes later).
The main thing I wanted was to be able to record anything in chronological
order about my ancestors and their families .. the blue ribbon at the county
fair, an appearance of a picture in the local newspaper of the kids playing
ball, the winning game, the receipt of a patent, etc ... TMG easily allows
all of these. I do love the fact that TMG will import your information
directly from your old software (most of them) rather than depending on
GEDCOM.
TMG does have it own distribution list for support and questions
TMG-L@rootsweb.com ... to subscribe send a ONE WORD message 'subscribe' to
TMG-L-request@rootsweb.com.

To keep track of documents of known ancestors and to store information of
people who MAY be part of your family .. but not proven yet .. there is a
great software called CLOOZ (http://www.clooz.com) that helps organize all
the data. It is a relational database and easy to input. The downside is
that their is no direct connection between genealogy reporting software and
their database .. so you have double input. However, it sure makes finding
things easy .. and also finding connections between the data you have
collected to your direct line.
