Marylin,
Thank your for the information. This is the first time I have heard of this 
software. My goal is to find a genealogy software that is easy to use and is 
reliable.

Joao Ventura and others interested in another genealogical database.
 I just talked the owner of Ancestral Quest. He told me AQ will handle your 
300,000 without any problem. In the next few days there will be a new version 
of AQ out. It will make exporting from FTM to AQ a smooth transfer. He asked 
that you give him a few days and it will be out. 
He is usually pretty acurate with his time frame. I do not work for them. The 
owner is a personal friend.

As a onetime user of FTM I was happy with the product but soon became annoyed

performance of the product. As a result I switched to “the Master Genealogist” 
(TGM) which was discontinued last year. I am still using TGM and am having no 
performance problems with it on Windows 7, 8, and 10. I know there will be the 
day when I will have to switch but in the mean time I like having all my data

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree Maker' users  Yes, this is a 
travesty.  I have already been contacted by RootsMagic and have downloaded 
their software.  There is a free version and a premium version. The premium 
version is $9.95 a year.  I uploaded my gedcom from FTM and so far, so good.  
It included my media, notes which have my links to records, and in testing it 
out yesterday I have to say I like it a lot.  I am keeping FTM as is and 
working with both until I feel comfortable trashing FTM.  I must admit it is 
easier in my opinion to use with the biggest plus in editing, deleting etc.  
There is also reports, book publishing, etc.  I also do NOT like that Ancestry 
is giving us no option but to use the new graphic interface instead of the 
classic interface which in my opinion is easier to use.  With the new graphic 
interface it is harder to find what you need and then to search or edit.  Only 
one person's opinion.  But I will download my DNA and discontinue Ancestry when 
my subscription is up.  RootsMagic will be trying to work with Ancestry in the 
futureI don't know if that is good or bad.  I like RootsMagic the way it is.

Many of these genealogy software programs may be on sale. Download the free

Joao Ventura and others interested in another genealogical database.

 I just talked the owner of Ancestral Quest. He told me AQ will handle your
300,000 without any problem. In the next few days there will be a new
version of AQ out. It will make exporting from FTM to AQ a smooth transfer.
He asked that you give him a few days and it will be out.

He is usually pretty acurate with his time frame. I do not work for them.
The owner is a personal friend.
