Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi everyone I'm very new to genealogy and am thinking of buying some sotware package to assist me. Has anyone any tips on what I should buy?If possible I would like something extremely easy to use and something that contains Scottish data.I have tried downloading some free stuff but found it impossible to operate! Many thanks Sue

PAF is free (from the LDS) site and is very good. I have Family Tree Maker, which costs around £30, but is excellent and you can upload to a website. Good luck! Mandy :)

	Im not sure what you mean by containing Scottish Data? Are you looking for a family tree program or cds of local info? No tree program contains data, you still have to search.
