Due to my expanding tree i need to get some decent Family Tree program, there is so much choice availabe. e.g. family historian, Family Tree Maker, Heritage Family tree. i am confused! anyone have any recommendations? (i use PAF but it does not suit my needs)

Read the thread started my Maz earlier - I have nudged it to the top for you. Personally I use Legacy, a free program. Carole

Hi Chris, I started with Family Tree maker, but it didnt really suit me so when it was time for an upgrade i chose Family Historian, it is a lot more complex programme and initially i didnt think that i would get along with it, but i am very happy with it now. Regards Theresa
