Lynn,
You didn't mention whether you needed software for an IBM- or a
Mac-compatible system. A number of good programs are available for
either, but the top-of-the-line softwares have been type-specific.
Just make sure that your genealogy program is "GEDCOM" compatible. That
ensures that your data can be transferred from one program to
another--crucial in upgrading or trading information.
All of the suggestions so far meet that criteria. And I don't think
you'll find any GEDCOM software that's limited to ascendancy.
One of the Jewish Genealogy Society publications recently had a terrific
article summarizing different software options. I think it was the
Philadelphia society, in their publication CHRONICLES. Let me know if
you're interested in contacting them.
