I was the Southern California representatives for this program from 1984 thru its August 1996 demise. I'm still active in supporting the program, and helping people convert their data to a windows based genealogy program. The Family Roots™ links above go to information on the following:
FR Home obviously comes back to this page

the PC version (v4.4d) or the Macintosh version (3.7m plus Family Links™ 1.3m)
Convert

me convert your Apple II or Mac
FR data into the PC Dos version of FR so you can then either do a direct
import to The Master Genealogist by Wholly
Genes, or you can make a gedcom file to go into other genealogy programs

Last but not least, you may want to know about Steve Vorenberg and Quinsept. Steve closed the business back in the mid 1990s, and continued support til the late 1990s. Last time I asked him, he is still working as a programmer for Thermo Orion. He and wife Pat lead a very active life and we keep in contact socially at Christmas. He seldom has time to think about Family Roots™ which is why he turned over the support to me. Once in a blue moon, I need to consult him about a stubborn conversion, but for the most part, I have all the tools to do them. If you want to write him to say hi, that's ok, but he prefers that support issues go through me first. His address is: scvscv@rcn.com
