[LM_NET] Hit: Family Tree

[Karen Walstein <mets53@COMCAST.NET>]

A few were interested in my results, so I thought I would post a "hit". I 
haven't tried any of the sites yet.

Try inspiration
  ** You can get a 30 day free trial ** It's great for flow charts, 
organizing info before writing a report, etc.

*****************************************
A number of responses mentioned the LDS site:
The LDS church has a wonderful, FREE software program to record and print 
out your family tree called PAF 5. PAF stands fro Personal Ancestry File and 
5 is the version.  You do have to register (name, email) but there is no 
obligation, cost, etc. Some members of my genealogy club have been using PAF 
since it was in a DOS version. Here is the link.

http://www.familysearch.org/

Just scroll down a bit and look at the lower right hand side in a yellow 
box. That will take you to the registration and download page. Although it 
was design for members of the LDS church, it has proved itself very popular 
among non-members too, due to its ease of use, flexibility and 
organizational features. If you are not church member, just ignore the boxes 
for sealings, ordinances etc.

For this one, scroll down about halfway and look for the yellow block where 
you will see a free download of the FamilySearch program called 
PAF..........

*******************************
What ever program you get make sure it will export a Gedcom.ged file.  This 
is the equivilant of a text file in Genealogy programs.  If you have to 
purchase.  Stick to a known publisher  Ancestry.com, Roots.com

Family Tree Maker by Learning Company  originally by Broderbund Is what I 
have used for years.  You can purchase different level and I believe you can 
purchase and download.
