Genealogical Software Report Card: "Selecting Genealogical Software�. A Few Last Thoughts

Genealogical software has two major purposes, the core functions that include the planning of the project and the recording, documentation, and analysis of evidence and those functions that are secondary to the core functions. These functions are no less important and include items such as advanced charting, photo editing, internet options, data sharing features of many types, and data recording options that extend the core functions making the program more useful to the family historian.

Programs can be roughly divided into three categories based on their support for the core functions, basic, intermediate, and advanced.

The secondary features cannot be defined in this manner however and one will often find very advanced secondary features present in some basic programs. It is also possible to find intermediate level programs with relatively few of the popular secondary features. "
