This is Elizabeth&#8217;s LAST LECTURE as she is retiring from lecturing. I will greatly miss her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special thanks to reader Tess who responded regarding my earlier blog mentioning problems I encountered with RootsMagic 8. She recommended posting on the RM Users Group on FaceBook so I&#8217;d like to pass that tip along if you are having difficulties. Before doing that, I viewed the <a href=\"https:\/\/rootsmagic.com\/webinars\/?mc_cid=2c8366bb00&amp;mc_eid=b96fb9dd52\">FREE webinars <\/a>that are available on YouTube and that solved my issue. More will be coming so here&#8217;s the link to <a href=\"https:\/\/rootsmagic.com\/webinars\/?mc_cid=2c8366bb00&amp;mc_eid=b96fb9dd52\">register in advance<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The root of my problem was I was trying to reconnect to Ancestry.com due to a pop up on RootsMagic 8. I did not need to do that as the webinar stated if you were already logged into Ancestry.com on RM 7 you would automatically be connected in RM 8. That would explain why the program froze for me. My tree is very large which doesn&#8217;t help. I logged out and waited a day. When I logged back in I followed the directions provided on the video and have had no problems since. I absolutely LOVE version 8 &#8211; kudos to the RootsMagic staff for their hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are doing French research, two changes are in the works.  Geneanet.org has been purchased by Ancestry.com and MyHeritage.com has acquired 90% of Filae.com.  I&#8217;m not sure when databases will roll from the old company to the new one or what you do if you were a member of the old company. I recommend contacting the company for details. MyHeritage did blog about the new content so check that out<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myheritage.com\/2021\/10\/myheritage-publishes-huge-collection-of-463-million-historical-records-from-france\/?utm_campaign=French%20records&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsmi=170364394&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9dvpLyKP9gqzz0AjU4NmlVqSJTnpf5OHoK3Q-pewEg1CaYaNFlfdEwHzkCc2qKgY0MtJmvtr1z8cvnGm2o3GdtBbgmgQuksnxY7MdtbZE0mRi31Rw&amp;utm_content=170364394&amp;utm_source=hs_email\"> here<\/a>.
