12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources - Software

For Episode 7 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re talking about genealogy software and how it can help you organize, manage, and expand your family history research.

In this episode, we highlight two popular programs, RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker, and discuss why many researchers choose software to keep control of their family trees while still connecting to major online databases. We touch on key features, compatibility with Ancestry and FamilySearch, pricing considerations, and why these tools can be useful for both beginners and experienced genealogists.

If you’ve ever wondered whether genealogy software is right for you—or which option might fit your research style—this episode will help you start asking the right questions.
