I am getting married soon and a collection of uncles who have had a ... strained... relationship for several decades have started to reconnect. Age, sometimes, can help take the edge off old feelings and, frankly they are ranging in age from 60-90 so perhaps they are starting to put things in perspective.

In any case, as part of this the old boys have been sharing old family stories and memories, including genealogical information in a variety of formats and quality levels.

I've decided it might be a good idea for me to start compiling this information and perhaps correcting/validating it while the old boys are still around to help validate the results.

So--- any suggestions on a software package to help me accomplish this? I was thinking about Family Tree Maker but I thought I'd see if anyone had other suggestions.
