Description:
Track your heritage, save the results for posterity, and even publish your family tree on the Web! Family Tree Maker Deluxe gives you all the tools you require to accomplish just that, making it easier than ever to search out your ancestry--and to keep track of what you find. Family Tree Maker Deluxe comes with a vast collection of information, from family histories to Social Security birth and death records. The information is on a series of CD-ROMs, and if any criticism can be made of this program, it is that it needs to go to DVD in the worst way, because the endless switching of these archive CDs can become tiresome indeed. Even so, the program's integrated search function sifts quickly and thoroughly through the data and comes up with matches rapidly. Research is only half of the genealogical researcher's task, however. Once you have all the data in hand, the largest challenge remains: making sense of it. Fortunately, Family Tree Maker Deluxe makes this easy, too, with graphs, beautifully laid out charts of all types, and even HTML versions of family trees that are easy to create and manage. Family anecdotes and old photographs can be attached to entries, giving the charts an immensely personalized touch. Family Tree Maker also provides links to professional printers who specialize in genealogical displays. The raw power of this software--not to mention its overall no muss, no fuss approach--is certain to appeal to new researchers and experts alike. --Alyx Dellamonica
