The connection of families is made by entering the parents numbers which need to be entered first. If you enter children first, you can UPDATE parent numbers on the children after. Marriage information is also important to connect spouses which also indicates mother and father of children. See Option F below for field descriptions.

FREE phone support (you pay for the call). Write or call us if you have special needs as we can customize RFGENE for a fee of $50 per hour. We can also write any software that you may need for your business or computer operating system. If we feel there would be a market for this software, there would be a substantial savings over my $50 per hour rate as the cost would be divided by many owners. It cost $48,000 to produce RFGENE Version 1.0 plus on-going enhancements to make your data gathering and reporting FUN. Announcement of major upgrades will be sent to registered owners. Thank you for using RFGENE. History of RFGENE RFGENE was started as an easy way to enter genealogy data for my aunt in 1989 and has since developed into a very comprehensive genealogy program as you see it today.
