For the best FREE Genealogy Program, I Highly Recommend (and Use!)
Legacy 6.0 is a full-featured professional genealogy program that helps you track, organize, print, and share your family history. The program is free and has no restrictions. (A Deluxe Edition is also available.) The user interface is easy-to-use and is always intuitive. Entering data on individuals is easy; simply fill in the blanks. The individual input form includes room for vital information plus an unlimited number of events, notes, and pictures. It is easy to navigate through all your family links using the Family View and Pedigree View screens, and the program can use this information to create literally dozens of reports. These include the typical ancestor and descendant charts as well as relationship diagrams, timelines, surname summaries, census forms, and family history books (complete with tables of contents and indexes). Most reports have the option to include photographs. The To Do List makes it easy to track research and other tasks that need to be done. Links to the Internet let you quickly search for anyone in your family file among billions of names. Legacy's merge capabilities are second-to-none among genealogy programs. The IntelliShare feature makes it easy for groups of two or more people to coordinate their works and stay caught up on each other's changes. Legacy offers extensive multimedia support including pictures, sound clips, and videos. These can be displayed individually, in slide shows or even screen savers. The program imports and exports standard GEDCOM files as well as directly reads PAF files. You can customize nearly everything in Legacy. Other features include Search and Replace, Spell Checking of all notes, extensive Source Documentation features, Repositories, Relationship Calculation, Web Page Creation in a variety of formats, Name Tags with pictures and 3-generation pedigree charts, and much more. You can even open two different files and drag-and-drop entire lines from one to the other. The Clipboard feature is beyond comparison!
For The Best Organization of your Cemetery Photos - For Personal Use or Complete Transcription!
The CemEditor is designed for individuals searching their ancestry, family historians, groups, genealogy and historical societies, cemeteries and other organizations desiring to organize a cemetery transcription. It will provide a very useful searchable database when complete. It also works great to combine and manage all family cemetery pictures in one convenient package. Add this Cemetery Information Management software to your family tree and genealogy software collection.
The CemEditor2 software easily organizes and manages cemetery photos and transcriptions into a searchable database. It allows entry of the inscription information contained on the monuments to be entered into the database. The CemEditor includes features to publish information on CD. Additional utilities which can be purchased separately will create web pages, books, and books with pictures. It also works great as a transcription tool to print out your reports in alphabetical or by the location in the cemetery. Take photos at the cemetery and transcribe them in the comfort of your home. Information can be easily imported to or exported from the CemEditor if you already have it entered in another application.
Darren McMannis uses this software for the Harvey County Genealogical Society cemetery transcription project, and heartily recommends it to everyone with an interest in cemetery transcription. To learn more about it, visit the CemEditor website at www.ovs-genealogy.com .
