Hi Donna,

I think you are doing more than a lot of us newbies.   :-)   I wonder if
there are any more online storage websites for genealogy data?   Maybe
someone knows.   If there are, one might consider sending the data to these
other genealogy storage sites.   In addtion, one might get 1 or 2 or as many
as needed, gmail.com accounts.   Each one of those account have almost 3 gb
storage available.    All one would need to do is to create a gmail account,
for example, donnaautrey@gmail.com and send your Gedcom backup files to that
email account as an attachment (cannot send .exe files- have to change the
.exe to .old) and let it lie.   I do believer google (they own gmail.com)
will be around for a long time.

Btw, hotmail.com has 2 gb email accounts available and yahoo.com have 1 gb
email accounts available;   all for free.

In addition to online storage, one should backup your files to a DVD or to
an external hard drive.

Carl
