I have 5 different trees on FTM - my own, and 4 for other people who I have been helping from time to time. I just make sure that if I'm working on one of the other trees that I click on 'file' and close that one and open my own tree before I close the program, that way it always opens up in my own tree.

I just add them to my own tree by clicking on people then add unrelated individual.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Click on File, New, that will create another database within FTM. Remember though that FTM will open on the last file it used so make a note of where your first file is stored so that you can navigate to it to open it again. Ron www.genealogyprinters*com

Hi Just wondering is it possible to start a new family tree on your FTM? Its nothing to do with my own family, this is for history purposes so I would have 2 Family trees on the go. but from the one FTM (hope that makes sense) Much appreciated. Yvonne
