Great news!!!!  I had done a lot of work on my adoptive family`s tree in Ancestry.com and invited my brother to see it.  He wasn`t very interested at the time.  I have been using Rootsmagic 5 and couldn`t get a file saved to send to him.  He had to have a genealogy program to open the gedcom.
Yesterday, I downloaded the now Family Tree Maker 2012 and played with it last night.
Well - this morning - my brother emailed me and said a lady from the area wants to know if he had anything past his grandfather, because she is related.
Lo and behold - my new program allows me to save a pdf Family group sheet for each person AND the tree view itself!!  I have traced them back on my father`s side to 1100.
: I was SOOOO excited to save and send all this to him.  Am still in the process, but he has a few already.
: He will be soooo surprised!

Response from my brother:

I am going to email (name of relative) today and give her some of the info you sent if I can figure out how, would you mind if I give her your email address, as she is working on the Daniels family tree, and you might be able to help her.
They, her and her cousin are going to have a small family reunion on Sat. Aug. 25 and invited us to go, so we will go if everything works out.
Thanks again for your trouble getting the info so quick for us!
