Family Tree is another great genealogy program from Synium. Somehow, this program is too complicated for newbie and not user friendly. I used to hire a freelancer at Freelancer.com to teach me how to use this program. He did his job pretty good and in addition, I told him to do some research about my family tree. He was pretty good and all job’s done well. If you want to hire one, use this code “FAMILYTREE” to get better advantages. Good luck.
