Great Book If You're Confused About Software!!!

I really liked this book because the author didn't try to sell me on any one particular program, or one a certain type of software I needed. Instead she surveys all of them, and lets you make an informed decisions. There's lots of pictures and printouts so you can *SEE* exactly what the program and reports look like before you spend your money.The book is a little dated now, but I found it still very helpful. The software reviewed is for IBMs, but there are chapters listing Macintosh software as well, and there is a chapter on utility programs that are useful to family historians. I was really pleased with this book!!

Great book!

I've had genealogy classes with Marthe and this book is typical of her quality of work - thorough, easy to understand, and fun to read!! This book is a must have for anyone who has questions about genealogy programs!!

It's about time!

Finally there is an up-to-date guide to genealogy software. To boot, this one is loaded with great visuals, so you can see what you're going to get before you buy a program. Now I don't have to hunt down assorted reviews (which I don't trust anyway)to find what's best for me.
