Selecting Genealogy Software

We had a large crowd at last night's genealogy meeting to hear member Grant Villetard discuss ideas to help us choose a genealogy software program. What type of device you use, what type of researcher you are (it was confirmed that I'm a hunter/detective!), plus how and where you will use the software are some of the ideas to consider before selecting a product. Grant also provided a list of the more popular choices for both Windows and Mac users, and he showed us examples of what some of the different programs look like.

The presentation also included programs to assist in organization and research, such as Clooz, GenSmarts, Evernote, etc. Whether we already have a program in place or are in the process of choosing one, Grant's presentation gave us plenty to think about!
