Hi Janice I have Generations ver 8.0. It is an excellent program, but a touch on the pricey side, it is helpful in the respect that it is (in the main) UK based Kind Regards Paul Timms

thanks for replying everyone! There's so much out there! Has anyone tried the one from gencircles? It sounds excellent but again it's American....

Hallo, Janice, - I'm glad you asked, cos I have been wondering the same thing. I have Legacy free version, and so far I'm not impressed with its tree charting. It does many things well, like merging gedcom files, but I read that to get good charts you need a companion program. I've got the demo version of Family Historian, which I think has the best and most flexible tree charts I've seen - the demo version won't print though! And it's expensive, about 40 pounds. as opposed to $20 for the full version of Legacy. Has anyone else used it? Is it actually worth it? Michael (in Dundas)

Hi Janice I also favour the free version of Legacy. It can certainly be geared to UK dates etc. Also has free updates on regular basis and once when I had a problem was able to contact technical help and got very quick replies. Sandra

Advice please.... I'd like to invest in some software to help record our family tree but I'm totally confused by what's out there! I guess American-based is not much help but what other things should I bear in mind? What have others found helpful? Jan
