Bob wrote that you don't need GEDCOM to transfer from UFT to TMG. I hadn't realised this possibility. It sounds a real blessing to the computer idiot like me although I can manage the transfer if pushed. I am certainly going to give TMG some real consideration. However, I have been 'playing' with a demo disc of Roots Magic supplied with Family Tree Magazine and I am very impressed. Has anyone out there had first hand experience of the full programme. Any snags, clitches? I noticed 'dolphin' gives it 5 out of 5 which is an impressive rating! Heather

Art I know you addressed this to Heather but I would be very interested in your opinion of RootsMagic. I am currently using FTM and am looking for something a little more intuitive. Would RootsMagic fit my bill do you think?
