If you are looking for a good way to do a "Family Tree" MY HERITAGE.COM has a great program. It's free and I used it to enter all the info I had gathered over the last 5 yrs on the family. The program I used is not a genealogy research site but a great way to record and then compile it all into a book form. I had 65 pages in the report and could have never brought it all together as nicely as the program did. I printed 50 copies so that every family branch could receive a copy at the family reunion in July. Everyone was very pleased with how complete and organized it was. The favorite feature most commented on was the ability to enter notes, family stories, on people so we could all know more about our ancestors. You also have the option to publish it to the web and invite other family members to view it along with pictures if you want. Many more features are available.

Hi Mary, Thanks for the info! I have been researching different family tree options, but have not chosen any yet. Part of my concern has been that I need a program that has a lot of flexibility for adding updated information. You obviously have a lot of experience with the program at My Heritage. Do you have any specific tips/tricks etc.? Thanks, Gigi

Do you have any specific tips/tricks etc.? Thanks, Gigi Gigi, It takes some getting used to as there are so many features, but I recommend it. Adding information is easy and my only disappointment in the program is that it doesn't have spell check. I go back in anytime I get more info, there's a marriage, divorce, birth, death, interesting facts, like military service, etc. I have added old family photos to the website and will start adding the individual photos to the tree as I get them from others. If you try it let me know what you think. And if you need help don't hesitate to give me a holler!!!
