about prices, This is good to know, but parsons and broderbund are the same people, they bought out parsons or parsons bought out them, I cant remember which,anyway the are one now, that is why the up ftm the prices on everything on the CD's as I was told last month when I up graded. And Family tree maker if you call or buy on line I paid 19 dollars to up grade mine from the 4.4 to 5.0. It is what ever a person perfers to use. I have world family trees 1-22 and have used them a lot. I am still finding information on them. Gail Meeks > >I recently bought a laptop and tried to install Family Tree Maker >.
