Hi all, new here! Heres my problem, I know how to do HTML manually but I'm a little rusty, so I figure I would download a program. So I found Skywriter, but cant seem to get it to work,
There is supposed to be a read me file with it
but didn't see one.
So any ideas on how to run it?
or a simple one which of
course has to free-cheap!!!! (20$ish)
Thanks
Crystal

was made by using the freebie on ancestry.co.uk

since then I have learned how to us this freebie

by uploading a gedcom exported from
