Now it looks live every other genealogy program out there. But I keep it as I have found it is the easiest for me to input stuff into. But that could be because I am familiar with it. I teach a class at the Oregon Genealogical Society on Genealogical Software so have tried just about all the free stuff out there. Two of my requirements are how easy is it to put stuff into and how easy to travel from one place to another. Most of them are very easy to do both with. I have found that I like the reports that can be printed out from Roots Magic and Ancestral Quest the best. They are much nicer then Family Tree Maker. PAF and Legacy are both free down loads and are nice programs. So I tell my class: go to Cyndislist.com and try the free down loads, pick your favorite one or two and go by those. There are a lot out there and if you are doing research in Europe there are programs out there to help you with that also. Joe, I hadn't seen anything on Family Tree Legends so will check that out also. Thanks for the heads up on that. Linda Aubrey Oregon
