Question:

Have you tried any of the software for tracing your family history?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, they are available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Java users.

There are also some web-based programs too - and some are FREE.

I haven't tried any though so can't comment on their usefulness.
What IS helpful is this comparison of genealogy software on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comparison_...
