Glad it worked!

Right now Microsoft is working on a new file system (ReFS) that should
take care of the nesting and long name problem...but for now it's good
to know the limitations.

Glad your genealogy data has been saved on your new machine.


My mother has been working on genealogy for many years...but still
there are no records going back beyond my great-grandparents.

I know some people have records going back 400 years or so.





Philo,

Your suggestion worked. I created and named a new folder containing
ony two words and then indivdually copied each file to the new
folder.Then created appropriate folders for the files. Only a few
files of hundreds would not copy because of the file name length.

What a relief - now the new pc has the complete family genealogy
files.Your advice also made me aware of the nesting issue, which I was
unfamiliar with.

Your assistance was a Godsend - many thanks again.

Frank
