I now have so many scraps of information on bits of paper and print outs and I want to get it all together neatly. I notice there's a family tree programme thing linked to this site and wonder if anybody has used it and if it's any good. I'd like something that has stuff for doing more than just a tree - something like a facility for doing a bit on each person and other stuff if possible (attaching photos/images etc). Has anybody used any other family history software that they can recommend (or have advice on any software to avoid!)? Diane |

Hi Diane You'll find some threads on the Tips board about this. There is a free one that you can download from the familysearch site that is useful. Heather |

I downloaded a freebie from www.legacyfamilytree.com (standard edition vr. 5.0). It's really easy to use and simple to understand. Search on Google for free family tree software and you'll be able to find some feedback from other users! Don't be duped into spending £40-50 on "super software" as they're usually no better than the freebie versions and often tend to be more 'American' or too complicated for their own good. |

I never thought of looking to see if there were already threads on this subject (I'm new to the site and just learning!). I'll have a browse through now. Thanks to everyone who's given advice - it's good to know the advantages and disadvantages of different programmes and what they can do. Diane x |
