I use Family tree maker and have 7 different trees on it, one for each branch I've done, it's the best one by far.

David just had a look on e bay,anyone mind looking see which is the best one:thumbsup:

Mine's version 6 but I don't think the later ones are much different.
F.T.M. does everything for you, you just fill the boxes, it tells you how you are related to everyone, you can view your tree in alsorts of formats, it even prints a book for you, it counts how many you have on your tree, I could go on, GET ONE.

Roughy,

We use Family Tree Maker 2005, which we recently bought to upgrade from version 6 which we had for ages. The new one is better, but there's not an enormous difference between them in everyday use, so if you're going for one from eBay, anything vaguely recent should do the job adequately. We got our 2005 version from PC World where it was on special offer at £20 a while back (and probably will be again at some point - Bank Holiday weekend might be a good one to try). Don't bother going for the extra data CDs though, they're usually pretty irrelevant.

I have been doing my family tree for some years now and would recommend you look at PAF (Personal Ancestral File), it is totally free and is in my opinion the best.
