Hi Barney,

Let me recommend Roots Magic as a program.---Bob

Hi Don,

Thanks for the info. I have yet to invest in a program but
understand that the Family Tree Maker (I think that is the name) is
one of the better ones.

Any coments on such programs?

Hi Barney,
  .ged is a Gedcom file extension .... a sort of universal
genealogical file
that can be used by most, if not all, genealogical programs.

Hi Barney,

I would second Bob. Family Tree Maker has the most marketing behind it, but
it is far from being one of the better programs. You might also try Legacy
which is free and better than Family Tree Maker.

I like Personal Ancestral File; it is good; it is free and help is free at
an 800 number.

Hannover Listees,

Thanks to Paul, Bob and others who have added to the discussion. I have some homework to do on this before I make the leap.

Thanks again,

Dear Listies,

I agree. PAF is the best. Have sampled a few. PAF may not be colorful in appearence but functionality is A+. One can customize reports, create book-form genealogies, include source documentation, index's as well as link images to ones personal database.

If any of you are Macintosh users (like me), you do not have as many choices when looking for genealogy software. But there is one program for Macintosh that is a top notch piece of software. That is Reunion by Leister Productions, Inc. Much as Bill Gates would like to think, the whole world does not revolve around Microsoft, Whatever program you have, be sure to make back up copy daily, or at least those days you make additions or changes.

They used to make PAF for the Macintosh. I started out with PAF for the Apple IIe, and the people out at Salt Lake City made a copy for me to switch over to the Macintosh --- at no charge. I used a GED file to carry that over to Reunion.
