Hello Reaybo M,
Well-said by trish251 and DDJJake.
I'd just add two comments:
1. The direct link to FreeCEN (it's particularly good for the 1841 census for certain parts of Scotland including Fife) is:
http://freecen.rootsweb.com/2. A RootsChat search will find lots of information on various genealogical programs. They are all fairly good (just as most cars are fairly good these days). So, just as with cars, the real question is which one suits your needs, capabilities, and budget! I use TMG (The Master Genealogist) which is probably as powerful a genie program as there is - but it's not for everybody.
However, I note that you are a very experienced RootsChat poster and I deduce from your posts that you are an experienced and capable genealogist - not in need of the advice we are giving
I would recommend that, if you have any specific queries or particular brickwalls, that you open a new thread for them. That might get the attention of all those RootsChatters out there who are very skilled at knocking down brickwalls and who are champing at the bit for another challenge.
Very best wishes,
JAP
