I have tried Gramps but I find it is much more difficult and much less 
intuitive than FTW version 11 which I have used for around 10 years. In 
any case I can get this to work under WINE . My real problems are wih 
the FreeBMD transcription and verification software and with gettig a 
version of MSAccess to work.
