Peggy & all, I found what I was looking for, and thought others on the list might be interested. The genealogy software I had on my old computer was Personal Ancestral File, or PAF. I'm downloading the latest version, 5.2, right now. I never started my own family file, but found this software to be great for viewing other files I downloaded from Rootsweb, etc. I have no basis for comparing it with other software, but it's free and available online, which is what I was looking for. I found it at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp?Page=home/welcome/simplePAFRegistration.asp if anyone else is interested.
