Any advice is welcome on Rootsmagic
« on: Friday 31 January 20 07:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I've been using FTM for years now and, up until the latest iteration - 2019 -  have been quite happy with it. However I only recently discovered Rootsmagic which has some nice features and I was wondering if there's anyone out there (surely) who has experience of both and is prepared to make any comments?

Cheers, Simon

Simon, a series of articles by Keith Riggle addresses the pros and cons involved in moving from FTM to various alternative programs, with some comment on the programs themselves. The link takes you to the one about moving to Rootsmagic: https://genealogytools.com/replacing-family-tree-maker-part-3-importing-your-ftm-tree-into-rootsmagic-7/
