Thank you Rick Crume for a fantastic article on Software Scorecard. Family ORIGINs came out high on the list and was well documented as to what it can do. He did a good job of reviewing 9 software packages. page 38 of the article has a good scorecard. Also there is a write up on RootsMagic. The best comment that I liked in the article was 'Family Origins and The Master Genealogist both do an outstanding job on book-format reports.' page 39. Just what I have been saying for years. I think others would benefit from reading this and other articles in the magazine.
