I'm just looking into different software to organize my genealogy. What software do you use and why?

I use Roots Magic because
1) It is well-designed. (I was a data base designer, and I know good work when I see it.)
2) Easy to use
3) Custom reporting is superb
4) RM had the "Print to a file" option three or four versions before FTM had it.
PAF is free. Family Tree Maker is the market leader in the USA.
Here is one site of Genealogy Software Reviews:

There are others. Search for [Genealogy Software Review] in Google or another reputable search engine to find them.

I've used Family Tree Maker for over 10 years. It is good and is upgraded periodically.

Legacy.
They supply a free version which you can upgrade to Deluxe with advanced features if and when you become a dedicated Genealogist.
