Judy-- I've used Brother's Keeper since DOS days--its developer, John Steed, is constantly online and helps users solve any problems quickly, unlike some of the more commercial off-the-shelf software packages. You can download a free copy and try it out here: http://www.bkwin.org/index.html Many users worldwide swear by Brother's Keeper, especially for its simplicity and compatability with other software. Everything I've tried with the program, iimporting/exporting gedcoms and so forth, has gone very smoothly; as far as transferring photos and such, I can't say, since I've never changed systems, but I should think it wouldn't be any harder than any other. Good luck! Bob Nichol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Ebner" To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: [LDR] Family tree software recommendations? Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:53:19 -0700 (PDT) I am interested in downloading my extensive family tree from Ancestry.com, and would very much appreciate member recommendations for software that is easy to use and is compatible with Ancestry.com, and that is capable of downloading not only the tree but photos and scanned documents I've appended to it. Your input will be gratefully received. Thanks. *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?
