Genealogy Programs
I get asked a lot what programs are best for tracking your genealogy work and family history. Being LDS I do my family history with the goal of making sure that the temple work is done for that person (if you have any questions, please message me), so the program I like to use is synced with familysearch.org to track the temple work as well as the family history information. The program I currently use is AncestralQuest. There is a free version available.
Ancestral Quest
This program is replacing the popular PAF program, which will no longer be available any day now.
The problem with Ancestral Quest is that my MAC friends tell me it requires all of this back work to trick your computer it's not a MAC to use it. I have not used any MAC software, but I have found some blogs that have recommendations for what to use. I thought I'd share them in case you are searching for a program to use.
Genealogy Programs for Macintosh
There might be more programs out there for both MAC and PC. If you use one not listed, please comment how much you like it, and if you would recommend it. Or if you are using one listed, but have a strong opinion, either way, please share.
