I love RootsMagic! I am 81 years old and have been accumulating my family genealogy since 1967. Fortunately, some of my ancestors left a lot of original documents and books that has trickled down to me.
I take care of my husband who has dementia, I have found genealogy and Ancestry, and RootsMagic saves keeps me sane. Thanks to All of the Wonderful People at RootsMagic!
Wish RootsMagic events were also made available online. We can’t all attend!
