I love Family Tree Legends, by Pearl Street Software. It is easier to navigate through the family relationships and easier to add notes and documentation etc. Best of all, this software creates an automatic back up copy of your file every time you enter data, on an external server, so if your PC fails, you can retrieve a complete backup of your file from them. I never have to worry about making backup cd's or cd failure. You can find out all the other great things about it at www.familytreelegends.com. Good Luck, Joyce Original Message: Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2006 17:53:49 -0500 From: "Phoenix" Subject: 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. ...........
