I belong to a One Name FHS with about 200 members. I have volunteered to co-ordinate the research, which involves a lot of correspondence and notes about each member's interests.
Having taken over from a previous manager, I am needing to reorganise things and update the very old database. It is still just about useable but hasn't taken very well to my computer (WXP2).
What I need is a computer equivalent to a card index system so, for each member, I can enter name; addresses; special interest; date of joining; dates of correspondence; which other members are in the same family group; etc etc. I also need to be able to keep updating it easily, for example the date when another letter/email is sent.
I'm sure there is lots of software out there but it would be great to have some personal recommendations - or warnings against rubbish!!
Thanks
