Thankyou Yvonne. I might try Tribal pages first then before I go the whole way and buy FTM. I'll take a look at the website. |

Thankyou all. I'm just looking through old posts about it all now. Looks like I'll invest in FTM at some point then I think. I might try a couple of free ones and the free trial you suggested first though. |

There have been a number of threads asking this question and it would seem different people like different programs. I have only ever used Legacy, got the free version first and liked it so upgraded to delux. The latest version has a nice chart making/printing program added to it. |

Just to add, over on Family Tree Forum (free to join) there is a board dedicated to family tree software - nip over there and ask any questions etc. and whatever program you end up with, people on there are happy to help you sort out anything. |

Yes you can do all that and there is useful facilities like error checking through the inputted info and also relationship calculators - so you can put 2 names and then bring up their relationship, very handy for vague ones. |

I have FTM 2006, 2008 and 2009 but I use the 2006 the most because it gives me my own free website for my family tree with photos and images and which I can password protect. Hence anyone I allow in the world can view it all from their own puter. I also like the facility to back up all my work to internet storage for a very small cost per year. |
