Anyone give guidance on an easy to use family tree prog? I am not very PC literate but realise that, as my scribbles, charts etc will be dumped when I am not around to protect them, something needs to be done.

It might be an idea to look for a local family history society to start with.

Try Gramps it’s free and will run on Windows, Mac or Linux. Produces graphs and charts and stores and links all the photos and certificates you may have. Stores data in a standard GEDCOM file format so things can be transferred to other family history programs. The link is to the download page.

I have used Family Historian for years and it works great. As you buy the program, with free updates, you are not the product and no adverts.

Another vote for gramps. It’s a local application, not cloud, and free. Coped with hundreds of my extended family, and produced a tree so big I had to send to a print service Needed A0 on a roll!
