Genealogy Software

There is a large amount of software on the market for recording genealogy. There is usually a format to set up your own chart in Microsoft Works and in the Visio and Lotus packages. Those are simple database builders and you're hard-pressed to share your information with anyone.

Millenia's Legacy is free-to-try software. I tried it and bought it and have been using it since version 7. It's easy to use and will walk you through the steps of setting up sources. The free version is excellent but there were items in the paid package that I wanted to try.

TNG by Darrin Lythgoes is primo for website-based dabases. This means you have to have access to webspace. I believe I bought it about 4-5 versions ago and I really like it and the customer service is excellent. These folks will even install it on your website for you. You can work from your site or upload GEDCOMs, I prefer to do mine off-line since I tend to add more people than I want to upload.

There are many other packages but I haven't tried them so I can't tell you to buy them and I hate to buy anything without trying it first.
