COMPARING GENEALOGICAL SOFTWARE    November 16, 2019  
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
SGS Library, 6200 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, Washington

Thinking about investing in a genealogical software program that resides on your computer? Have a genealogical software program, but are thinking of switching? Or are you just interested in what is “out there”? All these are reasons to attend the upcoming session on three of the top genealogical programs–Legacy, Family Tree Maker and RootsMagic. A panel of three users will discuss the advantages and challenges of each of the three and illustrate some of the features of each.
