I recently had a computer crash so had to send my PC in for repair. When it came back, the technician had kindly loaded Windows 2000(I previously had Windows 98). Well, he thought he was being kind! Unfortunately, the one program that wouldn't run was my genealogy program (Ultimate Family Tree). No problem, we thought. My husband said we would just go onto the website and see if there was a patch to fix things. That was when we discovered to our horror that the program was no longer supported and is, in effect, defunct. Despite various efforts to get the data to run on another machine with Windows 98, it just won't. So don't just do back-ups, make sure your program is still valid. And download a copy to Rootsweb, like the newsletter keeps telling us to do. I didn't, but really wish I had!

Now can someone recommend a good genealogy program please?
