Hi, Based on the comments I received from everyone on a family tree software program, the following are the results: 48% used Family Tree Maker 14% Personal Ancestral File 8% Family Origins 6% Legacy 6% Brother's Keeper 5% Generations Family Tree 3% Master Genealogist 3% Generations Grande Sutie 2% Ultimate Family Tree Deluxe 2% Ancestral Quest 1% Genealogy2000, GenWeb, & GenDesigns There were pro's and con's on every program. Most of the comments I received on PAF were that it was good and free. I received some good comments from a researcher/ computer expert with years of experience on Family Origins, but also received a comment from someone that their tech support was very bad. Most of the comments were on FTM. In general, they were good ones. Got several comments on the useless CDs that you get with FTM, but you can purchased FTM without the extra CDs. FTM has good support. Then I received a message from someone telling me to take a look at deja.com that had ratings on genealogy software, which the results were somewhat different from the survey I did. The top 10 are listed as follows: They are in order from best to worst. Family Origins (the best) Legacy Family Tree Brother's Keeper Master Genealogist Reunion Ultimate Family Tree Deluxe Personal Ancestral File Family Treasures Family Tree Maker Deluxe Edition III Ancestors and Descendants Is Family Tree Maker Deluxe Edition III (#9 on the list) from the same maker as FTM?? There were others mentioned. I just listed the top ten. This is getting harder and harder for me to decide on which one to get. Just wanted to share this little survey I did with you. Any comments are welcome. robert piepint@nbtx.com
