Genealogy Software and Family Archive CDs



In an effort to stop purchasing the same CDs, or to quit buying boxed sets, I have made this comprehensive list of all the Family Tree Maker - Family Archive CDs and software that I currently own. So now, when I am shopping on the go, I can just glance at this list and make sure not to duplicate my purchases again!

EDIT: I think this would be a great place to also list all other the genealogy software I have installed as well. Some of these are shareware, some of them are freeware, some of them are open source and the last type is software that you can use only if you purchase it...
