RootsMagic, my favorite genealogy database program, has released RootsMagic Essentials, a version you can download that is absolutely free! In case anyone is wondering, I don't get a thing for this endorsement; I just like RootsMagic, and I like encouraging interest in genealogy. It looks as if one can do a lot with Essentials, and it might be a great, commitment-free way to keep track of family information even if one doesn't have (yet) a desire to delve any further. Sadly, one of my favorite features, color coding of families, is not part of the stripped-down version, but—tanstaafl—if there is, sometimes, a free lunch, the full-course dinner always costs.
If any of my family members decide to download RootsMagic Essentials, I'll be happy to send along a copy of my database. :)
