Right now I'm using Family Tree Maker 16, but my husband just ordered the new 2009 version for me.
I think I am to the point where I am going to start everything over from scratch. I wasn't as careful about documentation when I first started doing this 15 years ago.
Family Tree Maker is terrific. My wife just bought a copy of it because that's what several family members use to do log their genealogical research records.
I just downloaded a program off of the web that's supposed to help me sort and organize any research that I've done in regards to my ancestry. This particular software is called "Legacy Family Tree" v6.0
Then I got to wondering what software, if any, the rest of you are using. Maybe I can get a better recommendation.
Thanks!
Hi, how's things,
I noticed your post and remembered something. Did you know that you can go to the LDS website and use their ancestry search online program, free, gratis and you do NOT have to be a Mormon either.
Don't know if I am allowed to c/p links but here it is,
familysearch.org/eng/default.asp
I know it is not the same as your own computer program but if you need to just get some fast facts then try the LDS site,
God bless,,

I currently use Family Tree Maker Version 16. It's okay for the average user but there are quirks in it that I do not like. I like to click [once] and have something all mapped out for me. When I run into a problem, and cannot figure it out, I get frustrated, and end up doing nothing.
- I have been referred to a program called, "Master Genealogist". It is a little more expensive than normal but it puts you in control. I am getting it soon.
- If you are just doing "average" genealogy then Family Tree Maker is probably the best "bang for your buck". I hear that the latest version [2010] has worked out a lot of things/quirks people did not like.
-Try praying about it. That's what I do a lot of the time.
I used Family Tree Maker for years, but about a year ago I downloaded Legacy the free version and liked it so much I upgraded to 7.0 and switched to Legacy. I'm really happy with my decision. They have on-line tutorials and lots of help, a great program. IMHO
