"I downloaded the new version at lunchtime and went through the [training] video and was grateful that I did. It has so many nice features that I would not have discovered on my own. Then I started using the product. It was fantastic." - Walter McKnight

"Ancestral Quest is an incredible program. The recent interface with new.FamilySearch is unbelievable. I was trying to make it way too hard. It is complex, but worth it. The tutorial opens doors you could never imagine having access to." - Nancy Oram
