My Review 

.I purchased my first computer to be able to keep track of my relatives in the mid 1980's.

I now have well over 11,400 names and 2,400 pictures in Brothers Keeper.

I am never bothered by the administrators to purchase other products.

I have asked for help from the administrators on several occasions on problems most genealogist would never come to need, they have always helped me solve my problems even on weekends.

The ability to go to father, siblings, children, children etc. to step through quickly to those members your family you are very familiar with and most often use, with ease.

The program is designed for easy entry, finding relatives in the program by entering first name and a question mark or question mark and the last name. This brings up a short list for you to find the person.

Pictures are a very important part of everyone’s genealogy, this program allows you to attach one picture to many people, whether it be photo’s, certificates, medals, newspaper articles or school achievements. You name it.

It has several charts which I have not seen in other programs example; fan chart. The tree chart which can be manipulated as to size by font size, number of letters in names, number of generations & the amount of information you show. With each change it gives the new size of the chart.
