Major means that they kindly allowed someone to look at it and without permission that person took every detail and added it to their own tree. Thats one reason a lot of us dont keep everything on here and dont allow anyone to see the tree unless they have a definite worthwhile connection. |

Thanks Major, How did your tree get hijacked? |

Another reason for a family history program is that a private tree can be used to carry information not put onto a tree on GR. My tree on GR has been hijacked, so it has nearly 700 fewer entries than the tree on my home computer. |

Another good reason for using a tree program is the auto complete for names and places - saves a lot of time and energy! |

Family tree software such as family tree maker is a lot more flexible with a lot more features than that available on GRs basic tree. |

As a beginner (3 weeks) to all this can somebody please tell me why I need to buy family tree software. What are the problems with GR? I seem to be doing ok at the moment with GR and Ancestry and kind people on this site. You will have to explain simply as I think im a bit dim |
