Data Bases for L. David Roper Genealogy
(www.roperld.com)
There are three Personal Ancestral File 5.0 data bases that I have created to hold the data for genealogy.
  1. Roper family and related families (Hall, Flowers, Patton, Dysart, Tallent). This data base includes all Roper families that I can find. For related families to my Roper family I include only connected persons. I believe that this is the largest collection of data for Roper families and probably the largest for many of the connecting families.
  2. Franklin family (my mother) and related families (Donnell, DeShane, Thomas, Lucas, Vardy, Nelson, Higginbotham, Graves, Daniels) This data base includes all Franklin families that I can find. For related families to my Franklin family I include only connected persons. I believe that this is the largest collection of data for Franklin families and probably the largest for many of the connecting families.
  3. Little/Klein family (my grandmother Roper) and related families (Bruce, Odom, Cearley, Hunsucker, Yount, Pope, Zimmerman, Dodderer, Eigener, Loudermilk, Barnes, Murphree). This data base includes only persons connected to my Little family. I believe that this is the largest collection of data for this family and probably the largest for many of the connecting families.
The current (8 January 2012) sizes of these data bases are:
  1. Roper: 318,295 people, 147 Mbytes
  2. Franklin: 597,193 people, 301 Mbytes
  3. Little: 116,953 people, 52 Mbytes
  4. Baril: 30,550 people, 12 Mbytes
  5. Rowland: 3.908, 2 Mbytes
If you want one of these Personal Ancestral File 5.2.18.0 data bases, I will provide one of them on a CD-ROM for $15 to anyone who wants it.
If you want one of these data bases on CD-ROM, send the $15 fee to L. David Roper, 1001 Auburn Drive, Blacksburg VA 24060-8123.
