Finding the right software and getting the best out of it will help to bring your family history research to life. Most family history software programs are simple to use, with good help files to get you through anything a little tricky! You will find many of them allow you to add photo's and even videos to your tree and also add notes in a scrapbook area, which will help to make your research more interesting. You can add notes about your ancestors work; where they lived; maybe a photo of the Church they attended and so on. You will enjoy this much more than simply building a list of names and dates! Carol and I use 'Family Tree Maker'. However we are giving you as much information as possible about a whole bunch of software programs here. Look through them all and decide for yourself which one suits you best.
