I would like to enter the tree I have so far into a family tree software which would allow me to print it out easily. I want to send various bits out to different members of the family to see if they can add to it, plus it would be nice to have a paper version. Could anyone recommend any good software that would do this? Thank you, Anna

I found this web link (see below), it seems to show comparisons between Family Historian 3.0, Roots Magic 3.0.3 and Family Tree Maker 2006. www(.)family-historian(.)co(.)uk/compare/index.htm Remove the brackets. I use Family Historian 3.0 myself and think it is really good. I frequently print off and email different branches of my family tree to relatives. So far I haven't had any problems including or omitting whatever info I want on the trees / branches / twigs / individuals (whatever you want to call the diagrams or reports) I send out. A lot of other people on Genes also use Family Tree Maker but I don't know if it is as flexible to use as Family Historian 3.0. Maybe someone who has FTM can enlighten us! John
