My name is Kevin Lett and the focus of my blog has changed over the years. I now tend to post material about my own family. I occasionally transcribe and post wills, deeds, obituaries and other records. I also give my opinion on new products and services in the genealogy community. Surnames of interest are Lett, Brock, Golden, Stinnett, Lawson, Vass, Stone, Bush, Cole, Coleman, Clarke, Jarvis, Musselman, Letiro, Worth, Morris. My main areas of focus are Richmond city and Mecklenburg County.

Extra Copy of Family Tree Maker 2012
I ended up with an extra copy of the new Family Tree Maker 2012. If anyone wants it, I will sell it to you for $20. That will include shipping. First come, first served. It is brand new. If you are interested or have questions, let me know. (This is a Windows version).

Family Tree Maker 2012 is on it's way!
I ordered my copy of the new Family Tree Maker 2012 and they charged my credit card yesterday so that means it has shipped out! I am excited about the product becuase it is supposed to sync with my tree at Ancestry.com. That will be an awesome feature...if it works right!
I will let you know my thoughts on it, once it arrives. It did not come in the mail today so I guess I will have to wait until at least Monday!
