<div> I use macfamilytree and switched from FTM when it crashed. I have had great success with it until I just tried to download v6, it started acting "funny". It won't let me open the previous version, I have to download the new version. So right now I am stuck. I like macfamilytree, they do a wonderful relationship chart. But the tech support is HORRIBLE, you have to email, so I have no one to call and get help. (my 2cents)<br>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>I don't follow ESM's source citation styles, though I do use some parts of EE as <br>
a reference, along with several other citation references. I don't see a need <br>
to have source citation templates in a gen program, so that's not a problem for <br>
me. Some simple way to attach source citations to facts fills my needs. I <br>
think there's too much potential of ending up with something that doesn't match <br>
the purposes that I create source citations for, when you fill in blanks in some <br>
template. Form and format is not as important to me as content and purpose. <br>
And though I know many will argue that you need the former to rationalize the <br>
latter, I don't agree. I think sometimes we are too consumed by "proper format" <br>
and form in genealogy, at the expense of more important things. If I was <br>
writing an article for a journal or magazine, of course I would conform to their <br>
standards, that would be a given (or the article wouldn't get past the gate, I <br>
imagine).<br>
