Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What genealogy programs do use guys use and what do you recommend? I use Roots Magic ($29). I recommend it, too. Years ago I had Family Origins 6.0 (Roots Magic's predecessor) and FTM 5.0 both, and liked FO much better. In its defense, Family Tree Maker is the market leader. It costs $39 and up, depending on how many extras you get bundled with it. The Gold version comes with a 3 or 6 months subscription to Ancestry's International package, the last time I looked. PAF, from the Mormons is free. If you have a Mac, Reunion ($79) is your only choice. You can Google "Genealogy Software comparison" and see parallel reviews. I use Family Tree Maker 2006 - it's a good program. I use Brother's Keeper, it is shareware so you can try out the full program before you buy it, and it is inexpensive. I would recommend it every time! |
