Reading the posts, another site that I use is TribalPages for keeping a copy of my family tree. A distant cousin suggested it. I love that I can put notes and pictures all together for the person. It is free up to a certain point and after that the annual fee is relatively low compared to ancestry. This is not for everyone and others connect it with their FB. It is just another tool. I have all my files saved to a memory stick. So far no compatibility issues with any computer. I have one I use on trips. I can use it anywhere I go to save records on a computer. It just makes it easier for me. If I get a new computer I just open and continue on. I have had no file or program issues yet. Have never used a Mac. So that might be different. I have a couple of programs that I use one is Legacy, but I don't really like it. A lot of genealogists maybe farther ahead in their knowledge than I am. I just thought this might help. Blessings to all on their searches. Robin L
