I've run PAF, FTM and Legacy. I have been turned off by FTM's aggressive marketing. I have not found their reference CDs helpful. I have many of them. Unless they've made changes, you can not send GEDCOMs to other researchers. Currently, I use Legacy Deluxe as my primary program. I haven't decided to upgrade to the newest version since I am quite happy with the previous one. I will keep PAF as a back-up program. It's simple, solid and FREE. Tommie
