Hi Tanja,

I am not in the position to advise you on a tree maker as the one I have used the last 17 years has been updated and isn't the same as the one I use.

What ever you do decide on, make sure you backup your information regularly. Last week my computer shut itself down and I was informed by Norton that a file had corrupted. When I restarted files were being thrown out and then backed up. Since then I have only found one thing missing - my tree maker was empty and my gedcom blank. I was lucky as I had my gedcom on another site and was able to import a gedcom from there. I could easily have lost the lot.
