I would recommend legacyfamilytree.com/To quote from their site: "The feature-rich Legacy 7. 5 makes it easy to preserve your genealogical information. Family trees containing millions of people can be recorded, displayed and reported in a variety of styles and formats.
Legacy 7.5 includes all standard genealogical reports, as well as calendars, timelines, questionnaires, research logs and a multitude of blank forms and more!"I haven't used version 7.5 yet but have used past versions and found it very good indeed and takes a lot of beating. It's a free download so try it out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
