Doing genealogy research will consume you and this product makes it very easy for you to spend your money and time on Ancestry.com! You get a 30 day free trial but it is never enough time. I purchased extra months until my husband had to squash my new obsession on filling the family tree. I know that this is a vehicle to get people to spend $20 or more a month on the website. Set yourself limits or this seemingly inexpensive program will turn into an expensive investment.

I have loved using the program to find out how I am really an American mutt whose line goes back seemingly everywhere. I learned about how my hubby is distantly related to a Native American chief. Cool stuff.

The program itself is OK to use. I can imagine computer savvy people can even just guess their way through using it by trial and error. There is a video tutorial and a quick start guide you can use for direction. I just liked getting in there and clicking & trying to see what happened. I read other reviews that commented on it being more difficult than it needs to be, so be warned. Overall it has been worth it just for the information I gained about me.
