Dear List, Having posted my recent enquiry as to family tree software with excellent charting capability to more than one list, I was rather inundated with replies. A huge thank you to all who took the trouble to respond. You certainly speak with one voice. There is no doubt that Family Tree Maker is the out and out favourite being recommended by over 90% of respondents - almost unanimous! In second place was Genopro Gold which apparently also has an excellent graphical interface. The basic version of the program can be downloaded at: http://www.genopro.com/ As its my birthday shortly, I now know what to ask for. Thank you. David M in Hull, UK
