Family Tree Software packages
« on: Monday 19 July 04 12:00 BST (UK) »
I need to buy a good packages and would like the opinions of those that already use this type of packages.

My main requirement is integration with my web site, but I also want to be able to link in scanned images and have a degree of flexability with HTML editing.  Price is not really an issue.

The one packages that stands out is Roots Magic UK Edition Version 2 is any one currently using this ?? or are there bestter ones ??

Thanks
Adrian

Hi there,

I use Rootsmagic uk and and I cannot speak highly enough of it.  It has everything I need and more,  it is intuitve,  and leads you through anything you are not sure of.

I am a software analyst and test engineer by trade and I am extremely impressed with it as a tool for genealogy.
