I've just listed a thread asking which is the best software, then I saw this thread. Silly me! Does the Legacy download allow you to export a Gedcom file to, say, your GR tree. Do you have to eventually purchase the 'free' download to keep your family tree running. Leonie

Marie, the 2 programs should not interact as they are different softwear.

Tribal pages gives you a good free website with a family tree programme. If you don't opt for directory listing you can keep your tree private. It is very easy to edit and allows almost any relationship. It has a few goodies such as a web counter and a guest book. You can also add unrelated bits. I have ancestors staying with aunts and uncles and I can leave them floating until I find where they fit in. If you are an ancestry member the new personal tree feature is quite good but a bit hard work to enter data unless you upload a gedcom. Each individual has their own time line so it is easy to spot mistakes. If you have a year of death but date of burial it will put the burial before death and similarly baptism before birth which looks a bit strange. At present I find it reasuuring to know my family tree is somewhere safe. Not free but for about £10.00 the who do you think you are family tree programme is adequate for most people.

It depends what software you want to download, I listed each software program and immediately under it the address to get that peice of software. for example if you want the free Family Tree Maker Starter Edition program you would go to:- http://www.familytreemaker(.)com/Download/Starter.aspx (remove brackets) and if you want the free Legacy Standard Edition program you would go to:- www.legacyfamilytree(.)com/ (remove brackets)

Hi Gordon This id from the Family Tree Maker Website Family Tree Maker versions 11, 2005, and 2006 have been designed for and tested in Windows 98, ME and XP Home Edition. These are the officially supported operating systems for those program versions. However, we know many customers who successfully use Family Tree Maker in Windows NT, 2000, and XP Professional. It looks like, as long as you steam powered machine opperates on Windows 98 or later, FTM should run. Legacy give the following system requierments * Pentium class computer. * VGA or higher display. * Windows 95*, Windows 98*, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME*, Windows XP * A Hard Disk with 55 megabytes of available space. * A CD-ROM drive. * 256 megabytes of RAM minimum. * A mouse. * Internet connection recommended. * Win 95, Win 98, and Win Me need all available Microsoft Service Packs installed. and PAF shoulf run on Windows 95 or later. I know Genviewer Lite will run on Windows 95 but you can only view a GEDCOm from it, you can't edit anything.

I've looked at the FTM Starter edition page, but I can't find any details of minimum system requirements. Does anybody know these specs? I'm not sure if my eight year old steam driven machine can take it! Gordon
