"PCs and the Internet have made the task of researching your family history much easier than ever before. With vast amounts of data now archived on the internet, the odds of success for those seeking information on their heritage has dramatically increased. Using this Family Tree Maker Software, you can organise and store all the data you find on your family and ancestors and then create trees, charts, albums and reports to share with family and friends. Tracing your roots will take some investigative work and lots of time, but the end result will be a truly rewarding and emotional journey into your past!"

Our favourite tool here is RootsMagic - all the key facts are laid out in a series of easy to understand tabs. With a user-friendly interface, it boasts a wonderfully friendly approach, and throws in enough powerful features to make it a real contender - it's not hard to see why it's critically acclaimed by many.
