Hi - I'm new to this (only started a couple of weeks ago) and want to buy family tree software. I have researched a few and have narrowed it down to "Family Tree Maker" or "Family Historian". Has anyone used either of these. I would really appreciate any comments anyone may have - before I actually purchase the software. Thanks
