Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Genealogy Database Statistics

Hey genea-folks, 
it's Saturday Night again, 


 time for more Genealogy Fun!



Your mission this week, should you decide to accept it, is to:


1)  
If you have your family tree research in a Genealogy Management Program (GMP), whether a computer software program or an online family tree, figure out how to find how many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database (hint:  the Help button is your friend!)


2)  Tell us which GMP you use, and how many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database(s) today in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook status or Google+ stream comment.


NOTE:  WE last did this in June 2016.


Here's mine:

I use RootsMagic 7.5 at present for my Genealogy Management Program of choice.  In File > Properties this window popped up:



The information in this window says my current database has:

*  People: 48,473
*  Families:  19,428
*  Events: 156,611
*  Alternate names: 3,612
*  Places: 10,233
*  Sources: 1,558
*  Citations: 86,314
*  Repositories: 82
*  To-do tasks: 144
*  Multimedia items: 1,142
*  Multimedia links: 3,129
*  Addresses: 10
*  Correspondence: 19

If I do this in other programs, the process is:

*  Family Tree Maker 16 (and earlier):  Tools > Family File Statistics
*  Family Tree Maker 2017 (and earlier):  in "Plan" Workspace, click "More" button
*  Legacy Family Tree 9: Help > General Information

*  Ancestry Member Tree:  Select your tree, then click on "Tree Pages," and select "Tree Overview."
*  MyHeritage Tree:  Click on "Go to Family Stats" on your home page.


While I use each of these programs, the only program files that are "up-to-date" are my RootsMagic 7 database and now an Ancestry Member Tree TreeShared with my RootsMagic database.
