Genealogy Software Guide

Welcome to one of the newest features at Genealogy Today, a comprehensive listing of computer programs for genealogists. We have sections covering Windows, Macintosh, DOS, Unix and (the latest craze for mobile genealogists) Palm OS and Windows CE. We have also organized each package by license (Commercial, Shareware or Freeware) and functional category (general purpose, reporting, converters, web page generators) - making it quick and easy for you to find programs matching your specific needs.

With over 200 software programs available for genealogists, our Genealogy Guide has even more ways for you to distinguish between programs. First, we list the most recent price and give you links to the software package home page and demo downloads. Second, we include contact information so you know who to ask questions. And lastly, we invite users to rate the family tree software they've used in the past, so on each program listing you'll see an average score.
