I have not exhaustively researched the field but I ordered the
LDS Personal Ancestry File (PAF) software from the Mormon
Church; disketts and documentation for $37 incl tax.  

Because it is LDS oriented it has some fields that are for
church purposes but most of them can be ignored and generic
forms can be used for the listings.  Call your local LDS for
info on ordering.  I have had a lot of fun building my PAF
from bits and scraps of paper that badly needed organizing.
