Having read some off these topics i have decided to buy some software to put all my stuff on as people are saying GR or ancestry could go down anytime i will not be a happy bunny if i lose everything i have worked for so far.

So my question to all you lovely helpful guys and gals is which would be the best value for money tree software i could possibly purchase baring in mind money is tight as we are expecting baby Elliott in less than two weeks.

thank-you for all your help and tips

The free version of Legacy is also very good, easy to download and use
Don't build your tree on here, use a free programme on you home computer, then you can export a gedcom from that and load it on here, you can keep updating it whenever you want
