A superb piece of software
'I am not new to this software, having used a previous version and I was mightily impressed the last time, so what did I think of version 4.0? Well it is even better! This is a superb piece of software that will appeal to new and advanced users alike .. It is easy to use and intuitive and it does not take long for a new user to get up and running. Advanced users will find almost everything they need and so this software can allow a user to graduate from basic to experienced without having to change the programme you have to use .. This is a quality programme that I am sure would cover most people’s genealogy needs and more', univadis, November 2009
