    3. I will assume that you have looked into Legacy. It may not have the capacity you need but it works well with Windows 10.

We have about 90,000 names in the databases making for some difficulties transferring data to another program. I tried Family Tree Maker and had real problems. Now Family Tree Maker is being discontinued also. Roots Magic has a system that allows TMG files to be transferred without using a GEDCOM. The program is free or you can buy a version for $29.95. I tried transferring one of the small databases with only about 3,000 names and it worked very well. I will work on trying to operate this program to see whether I like it. There are some problems working our TMG database with Windows 10 and their updates. I have Windows 8.1 and do not want to upgrade to Win 10 for that reason. The Roots Magic program is supposed to work very well with Windows 10. Does anyone have Roots Magic Essentials and operating Windows 10? I would appreciate your feedback. Having lost considerable data in the cloud, I am really reluctant to use a program that is all online and that is where most of them are going. Roots Magic has an online component but it is limited to databases of only 250 names. However, their stand alone PC program has room for unlimited data so it says.
