Sorry for this being off the Bolton topic but I'd rather ask people that I trust..... After reading Dick Eastman's EOGN genealogy blog about the Branches genealogy software I've been watching the tutorials and it looks like fantastic value for money at about £9 for a graphical family tree representation. I currently use Family Tree Maker 2011 Platinum. Would it be too much hassle to try to keep two databases in step? Does anyone in their right mind do that? Allan Halstead.
