Events in My Family Tree: January 5

So I was feeling dizzy Friday night and wasn't up to posting this, although it was prepped and mostly finished.  I mentioned in my first post of family events that I had had to export a GEDCOM from Family Tree Maker and import that file to Reunion, because FTM didn't permit me to search effectively.  I have discovered that the import didn't include all names, even though that's what I told the computer to do for the GEDCOM.  John Wylie Hall appeared in the results for my "5 January" marriage date search, but Mabel Brickel did not.  I was easily able to learn who Mr. Hall married by looking in the original FTM database, but now I have to wonder how many more people are missing from the export.
