Hi Cheryl, Personally I use Family Tree Maker. Quite a good program that allows you to search for individuals quite freely. Insert notes , photographs and other details. Otherwise, if you want a good freebee. Personal Ancestry File (PAF) from the Mormon site. Perfectly adequate for normal use. Roy White

I use Legacy, there is a free fully functioning download and if you find that you like it you can buy the deluxe version. Download from here (remove the *) http://www.*legacyfamilytree.*com/Index.asp Steve.

I have an iMac ( no I dont want sympathy lol ) so for anyone reading this and has one - we are limited to genealogy software sadly. I use reunion 8 and it's the best thing since sliced bread and just for us Mac users lol! Much happiness Debi
