Suggestions for a good freeware genealogy program that is not too complicated.

If you're looking for unix based one, there is one, I just don't remember what it is; someone else will. If you're looking for a WIN-based freebie, try PAF5 -- designed so your great-aunt Esmeralda, who never met an electric typewriter she trusted, can use it. Legacy is a bit more complex and a lot prettier to look at. It has a free version. JFTR, though, any feature of any program can be ignored until you're ready to use it. PAF has several features I soundly ignore; and so does Legacy's free version. Cheryl

I should have mentioned that I am using Windows XP and Family Tree Maker which I started using when the DOS version was out which I would still use if I could. I wish I would have kept my old DOS box!! I would use it with the old DOS program!! I do not need all this graphics crap and fancy backgrounds and stuff and being able to save pics with it. I want something that keeps track of names, dates, relatiionships, charts, ETC in a genealogy porgram (before someone tells me I can use Excel or something). For me Family Tree Maker has way more junk then I will ever use plus the screen is so busy if you know what I mean. It takes me forever to find where I want to go in it!!! Usually someone brings up these DOS things that can be used in windows to run DOS programs but before they do let me say I am not really into computers and do not know how to do all that stuff. Thanks so very much.
