As a Mac owner I am limited in the FH software I can use and some time ago I started using MacFamilyTree. It is an interesting piece of software, very much a product of the last few years, rather than software that has developed over countless, annual iterations. You can buy it either directly via...

I recently downloaded the American Rootsmagic 5 free version and 'imported' the data from the 2005 FTM to it. I'm not...

Hello, I've just loaded up a fairly modest secondhand PC with Ubuntu, and am most impressed with how easy it was to get going, and, after a bit of a learning curve, networked with Windows based machines. I'm seriously considering migrating my main applications off Windows, particularly as I'm...
