Hi Ana,

The best genealogy software is the one you like best.

Legacy Family Tree has a tree trial version. Go to www.legacyfamilytree.com and download their free edition and play around with it.

RootsMagic has a free trial version called Essentials. Go to www.rootsmagic.com/essentials and download it and play around with it.

Both are having holiday sales, so buy the one that grabs you.

Family Tree Maker does NOT have a free version. You can look at the web site though: https://www.mackiev.com/ftm/

I believe those are the 3 most popular for Windows at this time.

Hi Ana,

It depends. Look at the software web sites for Family Tree Maker, Legacy Family Tree, and RootsMagic and see which software works with which site. They all advertise that information. I don't know off the top of my head. Then pick the one that works with your favorite site(s).
