Subject: [ROOTS-L] Genealogy Software


     I use Family Tree Maker and I do like it; however, I have nothing to
compare it to as I have never used anything else.  I borrowed a book from
the library which had a CD in it with almost a dozen other genealogy
programs - demos.  I took a quick look at each one, then decided I would be
better off asking for opinions.

I would greatly appreciate any input on which program(s) list members use
either in combination with or in the stead of Family Tree Maker.

These are the names of the demos I have (if you use something not listed
here, please tell me about it):

Clooz
Legacy
Geneweaver
Genelines
Ancestral Quest
Rootsmagig
GEDmark
World Place Finder/Advisor
GenSmarts
SiteFinder

I know there are many others as well.

Thank you,
Michelle
