Genealogy Software Guide
by Marthe Arends

Due to rapid changes in technology, over the last few years countless genealogy software programs have become obsolete. This book concentrates solely on software that is currently available and supported by the publisher. It also includes a variety of both commercial and shareware that will make your research easier and add to your enjoyment while tracing your family's roots.

The book, an absolutely indispensable guide for every genealogist, lists each program's major features and provides over 80 reports and screen shots to give you a sense of what it's like to use each program. PC-compatible software is thoroughly reviewed; programs for the Macintosh and other platforms are listed and briefly described.
