Having reviewed over 23 genealogical software programs, I agree that
Reunion is the best program on either platform, but PC users can get the
equivalent of Reunion by purchasing "Generations" from Sierra Software,
which is essentially the same program ported to the PC. It lacks a couple
of features of Reunion, but is still one of the best around for the PC
platform.

The other contender for "Best PC genealogical software", in my opinion,
is "Legacy", which is a very clean, elegant, but feature-packed program.
I would recommend that you check out these programs before making a
buying decision.

Generations can be found at:

Legacy can be found at:

And for you Mac users, Reunion can be found at:
