A Survey of methods used by the Society in recording their Family History.

In a vaguely unscientific way I asked all of the committee which software they use, if any, to record their Family History information, below is a chart based on the result. As not all questioned have as yet responded it will (I hope) get updated as more results come in and I may ask the Society Helpers for their answers to broaden the source information.

 The above results are based on the responses of 6 Committee Members -Thank you to them. As you can deduce we all seem to use several packages even the main choice still appears to need something else to make them the perfect package.

 If you want to investigate further the Software, then follow the links to some of the suppliers.
