Family Tree Software

My brother gave me Family Tree Maker last summer. What a great gift! As my research expands and my family tree gets bigger, the software will help a lot! Plus, I can put my notes all in one place, as far as discrepancies with names and dates.

Previously, I used a pedigree chart from genealogy.about.com. It was cool starting out, but was hellish to type as I went along. I also wrote my notes as I go along, but it’s frustrating to find family tree notes on my desk at work, in the closet at home, etc.

I’m still inputting stuff into the software, since I know so much about my family and extended members now. But when I finish, my family tree is going to be great, I tell you!
