Thanks Frank for replying and your advice. Think your right about the downloads...will stay clear of the shareware. |

thanks for the reply Shirley, I was wondering if you could use the Genes Reunited tree with the Family Tree Maker. so that's good to know. I've just googled FTM and a lot of free shareware versions with key gen has come up. Don't know anything about shareware. Has anybody used these versions do you know and are they ok to use? |

I dont think there's any tree program that works independently with GR as genes has its own tree program ,I recommend FTM as a stand alone program that gives lots of different reports and you can download your genes tree to it and visa versa. FTM is in conjunction with Ancestry BUT you don,t have to have Ancestry subs for it although most will give you a free subs to Ancestry for 3-6months depending which version you buy |

I'm looking for a good family tree programme and family tree maker has been recommended. Just had a look on the website and its roughly $40 (dollars). it looks as though it works with Ancestory but not GR. Don't really want to be paying for subscription to Ancestory as well. Does this sound like a good buy or are there others anybody would recommend. Are there any free ones that would be worth considering. Thanks for any help....Chris |
