I would be very grateful if any here can suggest a good Chinese/English dual system Family Tree software for a totally inept computer moron who has time on his hand to record/transfer an existing ancestral book going back all the way to Southern Song Dynasty. I need it to be dual system because family members are not only in mainland China but spread all over the world with some generations now not knowing how to read or write Chinese at all. For my sins I am also the holder/keeper of generations of family photos that need to be able to be uploaded to illustrate the named person.
The one single most big important factor is, that this software must be able to accommodate more than a single spouse and her issues (several wives living under the same roof). Furthermore it would be great if the data hence recorded by me, can be burnt to dvds to be distributed; and for individual family to be able to update later generations as necessary. Now at a young 74 years and if I can find such a software, I hope to input all the data to date of 43 generations before I kick the bucket. If not it will be lost in perpetuity, which is really rather ashamed. By the way, I have a very rare Chinese surname 英; of Han origin descended directly from 英布; (not to be mixed up with that of same created during the Manchu Dynasty by the Dowager Empress).
So if you know of such a genealogical software please share with me and indulge this young man's fancy. I can be contacted by email at sarcceng@hotmail.com and from thereon we can chat further on skype, msn messenger, gmail, qq, etc. Thanking one and all in anticipation and in advance, I look forward to hearing from someone in the know. To all you wonderful and knowledgeable folks here, may your God be with you always.
