PC or Mac?
What is the expected output of the project?
Back in my dark days of using Windows I tried a lot of them but being a software junkie,
kept switching.
Have used FTM, Family Origins, PAF, Legacy and probably a couple of others.
On linux I've used Gramps and GenealogyJ.
Now I'm switching to a Mac and playing with GEDitCom and PAwriter.
Most genealogy programs import & export gedcoms and convert data to their own formats,
but they all don't all handle the tags the same, one thing to look for.
GenealogyJ & GEDitCom both work strictly with a gedcom file, no importing or
exporting. It helps to learn gedcom structure with these type of programs.
just my 2 pennies worth.
