Comment GRAMPS, TRIBALPAGES.COM (Score 1) 292

1). GRAMPS is the only real OpenSource genealogy software, everything else is out-of-date and crap. If you used any other software like FamilyTreeMaker before it takes a little getting used to but great software. 2). TribalPages.com is a good site that for $20 will create reports/family tress that you can download as a *.pdf. All the work on Ancestry should not be in vain. Export your family tree as a *.GEDCOM file and can be imported into GRAMPS or other sites. Bit of advice stay away from GENI.com as once someone connects their tree to yours you NO LONGER CONTROL THE DATA and cannot delete the tree.
