Product Info Reviews

Description:

Flexibility is the name of the game with Family Tree Super Tools, an add-on package compatible with the most popular genealogy software on the market. With advanced sorting, display, and research functions, this package allows you to sort your family's historical data, organize it into attractive charts, and even create slide shows to celebrate your heritage.

As its name indicates, this program is intended as a tool rather than as a standalone. Family Tree Super Tools imports family trees already created using packages like The Master Genealogist and Family Origins, allowing users to analyze their data and create new displays. As a result, this program focuses less on the often-backbreaking work of researching a family history and more on data cleanup and snazzy output. The package has dozens of options for presenting and analyzing the gathered data: filters, searches, chart customization options, and much more. Charts can be saved directly to JPG format for easy insertion into Web pages. Comments, photos, and important historical events can be incorporated into the output, providing a larger perspective on a family story. The information can be streamlined just as easily, reduced to its essentials and presented in a compact fashion.

What's more, the program installs smoothly, is easy to use, and makes good on its promise of wide compatibility, integrating family databases from various sources with nary a complaint. For advanced users of genealogy software who want to tinker with the look and structure of an established family database, Family Tree Super Tools is a distinctly first-rate choice. --Alyx Dellamonica
