Hi "Mama",

I personally like Family Origins. It's simple to use, but allows
in-depth sourcing, etc. I think it's $25.95 (U.S.) I think it's
more for the "deluxe" version on CD-ROM.

I found watching the mailing lists before committing to a
program very informative in that you can see what kinds of things
are said about the program, both pro and con. Also the caliber
of "support" from other users is important, at least to me!

Family Origins has my vote! H
