Generations Family Tree is a user-friendly application that is a good choice for most genealogy beginners. You can most likely find this software at a discounted price because the manufacturer is not currently supporting the software - making it (perhaps) the best deal on genealogy software you can find. Users can easily make a family tree as well as other genealogy charts with the simple drag-and-drop editing feature.
Other features include the ability to include photographs, documents and captions in your genealogy charts and reports. You can also easily add audio and video clips into your family chart. An important feature for beginners is the ability to properly document source information, but advanced users may want more than is offered. The main feature which will impress most people is how easy it is to create a beautiful family tree chart, including full-size wall charts.
Included with the software is a bundle of other applications and databases (useful mostly for United States researchers - some bundles include European databases as well).
Do you need a program that is easy to use and will walk you through the creation of your family tree step-by-step? Or perhaps you are a family history buff who wants to print a full-sized family tree wall chart. Either way, Generations Family Tree is a very good software choice for you.
You get several genealogy software tools as well as dozens of CDs of database information, including actual images of the 1800 US Census.
This software is an excellent choice for genealogy beginners as well as most intermediate genealogists. However if you are looking for advanced source documentation capabilities, or if you want to publish a family history book, this software may leave you disappointed. It is a great value for the money if you can get it at a discounted price (don't pay full price for this because it is currently out of production).
