[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Genealogy software

[Dave Proper]

Nelson,
I switched from FTM to The Master Genealogist (TMG) several years ago and
love the control that it gives me over my data. TMG has a built in
conversion tool called GenBridge that will convert any of the major
genealogy programs with little or no loss of data. Eastman did a review of
it a couple of years ago here:
