GRAMPS 2.0.11-RC2
April 19, 2006
GRAMPS 2.0.11 RC-2 was released yesterday. GRAMPS is a GNOME genealogy program for Linux and FreeBSD that allows you to easily build and keep track of your family tree. This is considered an “unstable” release as it’s not the final release for 2.0.11.
It can be downloaded from here or sourceforge.net/projects/gramps.
I was waiting to hear what the changes in the RC2 release were before posting this, but the RC series should be relatively stable to begin with (since it’s a Release Candidate), and I’ll just update this when we hear more.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. If you’re using Legacy on a PC and a laptop, sometimes that happens. Fortunately, we have designed Legacy to accomodate for these situations. But first, we recommend reading the article, “Backup and File Restoration” at http://legacyfamilytree.com/tipsBackups.asp. This article explains how to easily transfer information back and forth between a PC and a laptop.
If you’ve accidentally added information to both family files (one on the laptop and one on the PC), Legacy’s IntelliShare will help you get back on the right track.
The article goes on about the steps needed to reconcile the genealogy information. Full article.
