Anyone use a good offline family tree maker?  I have my family tree on Ancestry.com, but I'm always concerned that one day they'll make it a requirement to have a paid subscription or I'll lose everything.  So, I would like to back it up with something I keep on my computer.

I use Personal Ancestral File from the LDS Church.  It's free and I imagine it always will be.

Thanks Dan.  I'm giving this a try.  Can you tell me what format dates should be in?  I enter dates like this: 25 Dec 2010, but it seems like I get a bit of an error message.  Do you enter them differently?

I just looked at mine and that's how they're entered.
