on a geneology web site giving me information about my ancestors the
source of the information was listed as follows: Title: caphook333FTW,
Media: other.  Please tell me what caphook333FTW is, how I can access
it and how much does it cost.  Is this a book, a video, a compact disc
or what type of media item?  Thanks

Jeanart2 --

An FTW file is almost-certainly a Family Tree for Windows file:
http://www.genealogy.com/soft_ftm.html?priority=5090284&Welcome=1087487648

It's a very popular program that costs about $30.  Note that there are
11 versions of Family Tree Maker and many have different file formats.
 Later versions (at least after version 5) have the ability to embed
graphics (like family photos) but that makes the files VERY large --
often in the 15+ megabyte
range.

Family Tree Maker will import GEDCOM files, a standard-text only
format developed by the Church of Latter Day Saints for genealogical
interchange.  (These files tend to be smaller, perhaps 200K bytes.)
