| 448328 | 2006-04-21 23:45:00 | Can anyone recommend a Genealogy Programme?. I am a beginner and have had a look at "PAF" which appears to do all I want at present but I am wondering if with more experience there may be a better programme I should start with?. | Pato (2463) | ||

They all create GEDCOM files, which is the standard in the Genealogy Industry. So then, what ever you choose, and load data into, as long as you save it as a GEDCOM, it can be imported into any other Genealog program. BUT it may not always come out the same, in that there may be small variations and some missing data. Look around and see what you like the look of, then stick to that. Cheers..........John in Mosgiel. |
