I am sure everyone has different expectations hence different reasons for making their choices. Anyway, thought you would all like to know the outcome for whatever it may be worth. It sure helped me. Out of 27 comments, the results are as follows: (1) Family Tree Maker (of one sort or another) with 12 recommendations. (2) (Tie) Family Origins and PAF had 4 recommendations each. (3) Master Genealogist with 3 recommendations. (4) Ultimate Family Tree with 2 recommendations (5) (tie) Generations and Brothers Keeper with 1 each. Many persons commented on how easy FTM is to use and how it is updated frequently and how good the print outs looked. Probably FTM is also the most available and is marketed very well. Let me end with this. Has anyone heard of Family Tree Journal (version 12)? Comment if you have. Bill Bill McCallum wmccallum@skantech.com
