Family Historian is a UK program that has comprehensive features. All the standard diagrams are provided, plus you can design your own, based on templates. The 'All Relatives' type of diagram allows you to view all your relatives (including in laws) in a way that is easy to understand. Relatives of the same type (e.g. all first cousins, all second cousins, etc) end up in the same row; so you can read off how people are related, from the (optional) row labels.
In Family Historian, diagrams are at the heart of the way you work. All editing can be based around diagrams, dragging the mouse above or below a person allows you to add parents or children.
Custodian is a database software which helps you to store, index and organise the information you have gathered from all kinds of family history records.
