What’s the best software to put your genealogy on?

Jedi Lizard asked:


I’m just looking into different software to organize my genealogy. What software do you use and why?

   I’ve used Family Tree Maker for over 10 years. It is good and is upgraded periodically.

   I use Roots Magic because
   1) It is well-designed. (I was a data base designer, and I know good work when I see it.)
   2) Easy to use
   3) Custom reporting is superb
   4) RM had the “Print to a file” option three or four versions before FTM had it.

   PAF is free. Family Tree Maker is the market leader in the USA.

   Here is one site of Genealogy Software Reviews:

   There are others. Search for [Genealogy Software Review] in Google or another reputable search engine to find them.

   Legacy.

   They supply a free version which you can upgrade to Deluxe with advanced features if and when you become a dedicated Genealogist.
