    Yes, I've gone back to only on my computer. I'm in the middle of taking everything down.

    What program do you use to keep and work on your tree, on your computer? What is the cost? I have a MAC.

      I use Reunion for Mac. I don't like the interface, but it meets my needs for genealogy software including keeping my data private.

    I so agree! I have never uploaded all my data to an online service. I will gladly share paper records. Makes me wonder if the DNA info is safe?😢😮

      I worry about the safety of my DNA uploads too, particularly for 23andme which is on the ropes. If the company is sold I worry about the acquirer having no morals at all in terms of what they do with the data.

      @@EasyGenie Don't do any of these DNA kits. Most are processed in China. Also, police use them to do "familiar" searches when looking for DNA matches. These don't require warrants!
