Review by Sasha Q.
First, I need to state that I am not an uber-serious researcher of my ancestry. Nor do I need software that interfaces with Ancestry.com and has a lot of bells and whistles. In fact, I have been keeping some basic information on my family tree on some freeware software that I started using many, many years ago. It has actually served my needs very well and creates a decent, if unexciting, family tree and a standard gedcom file. I decided to try this software, as I wanted to get out of the dark ages and get on board with the latest technology. So far, I do not believe I have accomplished either very well. While I did not experience any major problems with installation that many people have, neither have I used many of the features that this software has available. So, for the average person just needing a family tree, I think this software works just fine. In fact, I would say that if you do not need any special features, you might just be better off looking for a less complex, less expensive piece of software. Since I have not used this program to interface with Ancestry.com, I am not qualified to review that portion of the software. Just to let you know, my PC is still running on Windows XP, so that is the operating system that it was intstalled on. I suggest people read and evaluate the reviews on this site, as well as other genealogy sites, before making a purchase decision on this product.
