I routinely made copies of the saveGame files at different points in the game in case something happened. Usually I remember to 'pause' the game before making my copy. Looks like I forgot. Oops. After comparing that family to the current family, THAT family was 4 generations ago so after I got them all fed and happy, I deleted the file. One might ask why I bothered to feed them at all if I was just going to delete them anyways. The reason is simple... I thought the e-mail dad sent me was hilarious so I had to act on it! LOL!
