Genie programs

The following are the genealogy programs & their related web sites that I use regularly:

• The Master Genealogist (TMG)  – fantastic, flexible, program for both recording your research, sources etc and analysing your data, unfortunately no longer available for purchase but there’s still an active community of dedicated users
  • Support forum for TMG
  • Second Site  –  extremely flexible way of presenting your genealogy from TMG on the web, with a very responsive developer
  • Second site mailing list – monitored by a great lot of helpful, knowledgeable people, including the developer
• RootsMagic (RM8) – very easy to use and navigate, and with sufficient advanced features to keep me happy.Snapshots can be uploaded to my iPad (read only). Can talk to/from FamilySearch.
  • RootsMagic Community and FaceBook group
• GedSite Use your Genie Software to generate a website from a GEDCOM
  • By the developer of SecondSite above, same helpful, prompt answers.
• The Next Generation (TNG) – comparable to the above TMG/Second Site combination, right down to the responsive developer, but generating the web pages as required dynamically from the database instead of static pages generated and uploaded to the web
