Events in My Family Tree: February 27

Well, I certainly fell behind again, and after working so hard to catch up!  While I was at RootsTech I couldn't keep up with my events because Family Tree Maker does such an awful job of searching for dates.  I tried downloading Personal Ancestry Writer, a free Macintosh genealogy program, but it doesn't permit date searching at all, and I unfortunately have never installed Reunion on my Mac laptop.  I guess I'll have to plan better before my next trip!
