Genealogy Software Review
Best Genealogy Software Buying Guide
PCs enhance the realm of genealogy research. Previous research limited to day excursions to a library or distant family history centers, genealogy now has a powerful "instant access" capability.
What's in a name? Millions of people have found the answer to this question with genealogy websites. There are many reasons for doing genealogy. Whatever your reason for genealogical research, computer software plays a central role. It used to be that genealogical research was done exclusively in libraries, archives, churches and graveyards. These days, genealogy software can provide more information than you can find on the shelves of the largest libraries. Genealogy software provides access to large name databases; some of which contain billions of names. Knowing who you are and where you came from has never been easier, or more accessible. What should you look for in genealogical software? You should get software that provides you with comprehensive reports and charts to help you organize and see the progress of your research. Among other things you will want ancestor charts that include your direct-line of ancestors; so you can see exactly how far back a line goes. Genealogy software has tools that help you discover and organize your research. Organizational tools link people together based on relationships, merge individuals into family trees, help spot problems and locate duplicate entries. You'll also want ancestor narrative reports. These are reports that begin with a specific person and follow that person's lineage like a story. This is a great way to share your research with family members and friends. Here on TopTenREVIEWS, you'll find reviews for all the best genealogical software on the market. Our side by side comparison chart gives you a detailed report on what features each product has.
