Summary: Not that bad
Review: I bought this program because it said it was easy to use on the box, well it turned out it was anything but that. I couldn't figure out how to use the different options and after about an hour of playing with it .. I gave up.

Summary: Nice software
Review: I have used this software for the past 6 months and I think it's great. There is a lot of features as far as recording your information. I even created a website using this software. It's not the most exciting website, however it presents the information in a clean and organized way. you can take a look at it at tomaskogenealogy.com. I only wish the instructions were more clear and detailed. I have tried an older version of Family Tree and didn't like it. Mostly for the same reasons of the reviews of others on this website. I hope this review helped.

Summary: Not that bad
Review: This progam was the first of it's type I have used. However, I had little difficulty in building a reasonable data base, with photos, on those family members I had information on. It did take a little time to learn how to navigate around the program and to learn it's many features, many of which I am still discovering. However,I am finaly getting my arms around the snake nest of people within the immediate and extended family. And the price of this program is very reasonable. That said, I find that there is no easy way to gather the raw data needed to build a comprehensive family history. There are tools which might help gather information on some individuals but, considering the millions of people in the world and the relatively recent advent of computers, your chances of finding information on some distant relative on an existing data base is not that good. That takes time and effort which no program can do for you.
