Re: Family Tree software (Nivard Ovington) Hello List, My question is not related to Lincs, so hope any replies do not run on too long, or may be better to contact me off-line. I have been using Generations Grand Suite 8.0 to store my family history for many years under Windows XP and then Vista. I now have a new PC which has Windows 8 and it appears Gen Grand Suite is not compatible. Imported Gedcom files ok but cant now make amendments or additions. Has anyone had the opportunity to try any of the latest Family Tree software programs,and if so which ones are favoured. Any advice would be appreciated. Peter. Hi, Peter,     Rootsweb (Ancestry) has a mailing list on Genealogy software that might be a more appropriate place to post such a question.  I suggest you troll the archives of that list and see what other people have been using and recommending.     Lou (list admin.) ________________________________ From: Peter Atkinson <[email protected]> To: eng-lincsgen <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 8, 2014 10:08 AM Subject: [LIN] Family Tree software Hello List, My question is not related to Lincs, so hope any replies do not run on too long, or may be better to contact me off-line.
