I'm thinking of getting RootsMagic 4 Platinum, At the moment i have Family Tree Maker. I just wondered what people thought of it and if it would work with my windows 7 pc.

Hi Gemma,
I think this will be better over in general in the software area.
I will move it across for you

I use Rootsmagic with Windows 7 - brilliant.

I went to a funeral yesterday, really sad, but isn't it the way that you only see some relatives at weddings and funerals. I had so many people ask me for a print of the family tree - impossible to do as it's much too big. So, today, I'm making copies, via Rootsmagic - it looks exactly the same, except it can't be edited, and for people not used to family history software, it is really easy to navigate.

I've used it for years, and just buy an update every couple of years.

Thanks Maggie, I think it sounds better than my current software.
Do you use the RootsMagic to go? its one of the reasons i'm thinking of getting it.

Rootsmagic to go is what I'm doing today. I have to make about 10 copies of the family tree for family members.
