I would appreciate any advice you might have on FAMILY TREE software
for MSDOS. I have heard that the Mormon Church has produced some
excellent programs, but I can't find any references right now.
Anyway, all pointers and/or comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have tried a commercial program called Family Tree Maker. It seems quite
good but it doesn't seem to allow you to join parallel branches (in my tree,
two brothers married two sisters or something like that). If anyone has a
suggestion of a program which will handle this, please let me know.

The program that you referred to in your post that is produced by the Mormon
Church is Personal Ancestoral File (PAF). The Program does the following:
Pedigree Charts
Family Group Sheets
Allows for notes to be added and edited
Charts
Ancestry, Decendency, and Ahnentafel charts
Lists
by individual, marriage, or place
showing possible record problems, ie mother was 5 when child was born
surname frequency, end-of-line individuals, individuals without re-
corded parents,
Allows custom designing of reports
Check for possible duplicate entries
And more
It allows for your line to pass through brothers of the same family with-
out crashing. Also, it doesn,t take much room -- about 1.3 megs for the
programs and very little for the database. I have about 15000 names saved in
less than 1.44 megs.
The program contains a research data filer which I have not had the time to
learn how to use, but the rest of the program is very simple to use.
The program costs less than $40.00 and can be obtained from the LDS distri-
bution center. Their number is 1-800-537-5950. If that number only works
in Utah, their address is
1999 W. 1700 S.

Not that shareware is free but at least you get periodic improvements that are not subject to the crawling bureaucracy of the LDS. You may write to the author of Brothers Keeper directly at 75745.1371@compuserve.com It always helps when one can go right to the horse's mouth with questions and suggestions. Fred -- W.

I'll also stand behind Brothers Keeper. My mom is big into our family geneology, and so far she has over 1700 people entered into our database. Matter of fact, my father purchased the latest version for her as a Christmas present this year.. BK is easy to use, and holds quite a bit of information. Highly reccomended.
