Brand: Wholly Genes EAN: 0614499123500 Format: CD-ROM Label: Wholly Genes Manufacturer: Wholly Genes Platform: Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 95 Publisher: Wholly Genes Release Date: December 15, 2001 Studio: Wholly Genes Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: 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 Amazon.com Product Description: Family Tree SuperTools delivers a comprehensive suite of add-on tools for users of family history products. Versatile and easy to use, this intuitive tool kit is compatible with Family Tree Maker, Generations, Personal Ancestral File, The Master Genealogist, and other ancestral research programs. Supplemental research tools also let you launch Web searches directly from the program as well as create multimedia slide shows that can be e-mailed. An integrated version of Visual Chartform is added, making genealogical charting easier than ever.

When your research is done, simply submit your wall charts online to a printing service, eliminating messy cutting and pasting. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Seriously outdated, underpoweredI bought this product to create wall sized descendant charts. Wholly Genes also has a printing service and, of course, they recommend this product to design your chart. It may have been competitive years ago, but today it isn't. I created a four generation descendant chart with about 100 names. FTST gives you a choice of "vertical" or "horizontal." No in between. Both charts ended up about 1 foot by 10 feet. And it took a full two minutes to create each one. Family Tree Maker created ... Read More Rating:  - Great add-on to Genealogy programsI've used Family tree supertools since shortly after it came out. It is a utility that any user can add to their bag of tools whether to get a different set of reports or to review their family history data in a different light. It is a sensational add-on to almost all programs. Wholly Genes works hard to please their customers and this program, like their others, is a worthwile addition to your ancestor research tools. Rating: - Great for Both Analysis and Display!This two-in-one tool provides both analysis and display of your family history data. It lets you import your data directly from many popular programs - there's no loss of data from GEDCOM transfers. You can import several different databases - yours, those received from cousins, and those downloaded from the Internet - and keep them separate so you can examine and compare them. Analysis tools include side-by-side display, filters, color coding using a variety of user-defined criteria, ... Read More Rating: - The Best Family Tree Tools AvailableThis program is great. Unlike many other genealogy programs, it can do many things that others can'tFor starters, it can read (directly) data from a number of other programs (TMG, FTM & PAF among others) without having to be re-entered or without using an intermediate file (GEDCOM). It can create slide shows of the entire family to display during family reunions from its own files and/or from other files on the computer. The charts that can be created are excellent and can even be modified as desired ... Read More Rating:  - Buyer BewareWhile this software is a little helpful I'm not sure it's helpful enough, for $$. I was looking for a way to create a slideshow of my family tree for an upcoming family reunion. Since this product makes this claim "even create slide shows to celebrate your heritage" I thought that this must be the product for me. Well I was wrong. Family Tree SuperTools is no different than any other family tree software, it only let's you create a slideshow for one indiviual and only with those items that are in the ... Read More |
