| 412235 | 2005-12-13 00:10:00 | Anyone out there ever used XL or Access to do up a family tree? Failing that, what are the recommended genealogy programmes? Thanks |

| 412239 | 2005-12-13 16:07:00 | I have played with a genealogy program called Legacy. There is a paid version, but mine is the Standard version, which is free. It's one of the biggies - with heaps of features (most of which are too complex for me as yet ). but it's possible to chug along as a beginner & organise stuff at your own pace, I found. It notifies you of updates every so often. The only disadvantage I can think of is that it's probably a resources hog for people using only its basics, like me. Google has plenty of references to what it offers. Check it out. |
