Ancestry offers Family Tree Maker and you only need to purchase once. The
subsequent following year enhanced package is free if you request it.
Afterwards, if major changes occur, you may purchase the never version or
not. The older version will still work just fine. I bought FTM08 and now
received FTM09 for free. If and when a newer version comes out, I will
consider how it will impact my tree of only approx. 2200 individuals. I do
believe your Legacy deluxe version will be doing the same. You are
correct, it is quite a good package but I prefer FTM. That's why we're all
different I guess........

I use Legacy which is a free program and very good. I purchased the
deluxe version
for some added features, but the free version works
excellent. go to
legacyfamilytree.com. and download the free version to see
if you like it. I gave up buying Family Tree Maker years ago when they
came out with a new version every 6 months and expected you to buy it. I
have over 3500 individuals in my database, along with some information
about many of them. The print out is fine.

What brand of software do list members use? I just purchased a new
computer,
attempted to transfer my old Family Tree Maker files to the new
machine and I am told that I have to upgrade to read my old files. I am
not happy at having to purchase new software just to read an old file.
Currently I have FTM 2005 and am running vista and yes I have installed the
vista update.
My point is that if I have to purchase new software I might as well see
if there
is something better available. I do know that I have over 2000
individuals on my FTM file and if I cannot open/read it I will be a little
miffed.
If you use software and would recommend what you use I would
appreciate your
input.
Thanks
