I have gen smarts and really haven't used it much.You really need subscriptions to Ancestry.com ,etc to work along with it,which I don't have. I don't recall how much I paid for it,maybe $30.00 or so,which is probably about 15 pounds.

You can download a free program from the LDS website.. which also happens to be the long running standard in the field.  The CORE of genealogy is finding the information, which is then stored in a program (or even in notebooks.. genealogy has been around, far longer than computers).

My advice, if you are a beginner.. is to invest energy in WHAT records will be likely to have your ancestors, and where the records are likely to be found.  Use a free program until you have some background on that, and decide then if you want to invest money in any program.

I've researched over 25 yrs, bought a program ONCE, and wound up going back to PAF.
