Review of Roots Magic2 He likes it. Price $29.95. Family Tree Maker Review. Very extensive review. Noted: does not allow web page creation except on www.ancestry.com (current owner of FTM). |
Eastman's site is a daily blog on geneology matters. | |

| The Master Genealogist | This program is consistently reviewed well. $59 download price. Lot's of current reviews here. | I'm trying the 30 day trial version. Can create web pages. Has add-ons for Palm and Pocket-PC versions. |
| Legacy Family Tree | I've tried this one. Has a free version and a $19.95 (download) version. Looks to have good basic capability. The paid version has more features. | Found it easy to use. |
