Absolutely!! Try Family Origins or Rootsmagic, which has now
essentially replaced FO. Same author, same easy learning, and very
inutuitive software. Will handle huge or small databases, pictures,
audio...the works. And the price is right!

I am in no way connected with these programs--just a very satisfied
user for many years.

For a list of genealogy programs and evaluations go here:

Good luck in your search. I used Legacy Deluxe very happily, but find the
one that best suits your needs and goals in family research.

Warmest Regards,

Donna in Texas

Hi Ephraim,

There are many Genealogical Programs out there for the PC most are
reliant on you running Windows.
You have
Free ones; ( Free does not mean that they are no good or limited in some
way ) for example Legacy ( Standard Version ) PAF ( Personal Ancestral
File ).
Shareware: Brothers Keeper
Comercial; Roots Magic, Family Tree Maker, Family Legends, The Master
Genealogist.
All have their good points and all can be said to be incomplete by this
I mean they may lack in features that other Genealogical programs have.
As far as I am aware there is no perfect Genealogical program.
If you intend to go to Linex then as far as I am aware Gramps is the
only chioce with out running wine to run any Genealogical program that
will run in Windows.
For the Apple the best choice is Reunion going by what I have read in
this news group that others have stated.
Visit Cindy's list @ http://www.cyndislist.com/software.htm
Personally I would recomend that you jion a local Genealogical group and
find out what other members use, look at the programs see how they work
and see the printouts, based on this you ought to be able to make an
informed choice that suites your tastes and buget.
Hope this is of some help.

FTM is popular. Legacy and PAF for the PC are free and arguably better,
Reuinion for the Mac is decidedly better.


Sorry, ask here, read here.

Cornbread Stuffing

Turkey may be substituted for this classic holiday feast.
Although time consuming, this dish seems to take longer than it actually does;
as the entire house is filled with such a heavenly aroma,
the waiting becomes almost unbearable.

1 whole child, cleaned and de-headed
1 batch cornbread stuffing (see index)
½ cup melted butter

Remove the giblets from the infant and set aside.
Stuff the cavity where the child?s genitals and anus were located
using ½ cup per pound of meat.
Tie the arms flat to the body, then pull the skin flaps up to close the cavity.
Now tie the thighs up tight to hold it all together.
Place breast side up in a large metal roasting pan.
Bake in 325° oven covered for 2 hours.
Remove cover, stick a cooking thermometer deep into one of the
baby?s buttocks and cook uncovered till thermometer reads 190°,
about another hour.



Pro-Choice Po-Boy

Soft-shelled crabs serve just as well in this classic southern delicacy.
The sandwich originated in New Orleans, where an abundance of abortion clinics
thrive and hot French bread is always available.

2 cleaned fetuse

E: FAMILY CHRONICLE magazine February 2005 reviews seven genealogy
software packages. Check your local bookstore/magazine racks in US &
Canada.
