There is also Bygones. This is available for PC and Mac and it is free! The underlying database is Filemaker, but you dont need Filemaker to run it, just the "application". It allows event dates and what are called Log Files. The way I have it organised the Log Files are families sorted by the head of the family and then by event. However you can sort and search on any other categories, provided that they are in the database. -- Thanks and regards, Shane. "A closed mouth gathers no feet!"

I've got it on my computer, and have occasionally tried to use it, but have never managed to get much out of it. >From what I have seen, it's more designed for keeping track of sources than an event database. And most of what I might want to use it for seems to be built in to Legacy. But I'd welcome any suggestions for using it productively. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://hayesfam.bravehost.com/stevesig.htm Blog: http://methodius.blogspot.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk
