Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
What's in a name? Find out by searching over 350 million names, using the resources contained in the Generations Family Tree: Starter Kit 8.0. This 11-CD set has everything to get you started: a simple tutorial; an indexed access to genealogy resources on the Internet with 75,000 links; 4000 maps showing European countries, UK counties and cities between 1856 and 1920; an easy-to-use family tree which can be displayed in 3-D; and a database containing the world Name Index (1500-1999). This is the first-ever UK edition of the software, and throughout there is a focus on providing UK as well as world links and databases.

Installation is easy, since the software is designed with new computer users in mind, and the tutorial covers the basics of using databases and the Internet to fill in gaps in your family tree, as well as the basics of offline genealogy. While you are waiting for the installation or your Internet connection, browse through the paperback copy of Netting Your Ancestors by Web guru Cyndi Howells and Ultimate Guide to Tracing Your British Ancestry; these will save you precious minutes and hours of research time and give you ideas for searches you might never have thought of otherwise. Once you have a few names, add data such as birth, marriage and death dates; military service; and places of residency; then plan how you will organise your chart. Use traditional tree structures with lovely full-colour backgrounds, cascading pedigrees and family-history data sheets, or even a 3-D tree unique to this package. Any point in any structure can be linked to text, photos, sounds or video files.

More advanced genealogists may want to consider Generations 8: UK Grande Suite which includes extra research databases, cookery and digital imagery resources. Still, Generations Family Tree: Starter Kit is indeed a good starting point: it will make genealogy fun, and you just may find that Grandma Rose by any other name is just as sweet. --Kathleen Keefe

Enjoy exclusive features, including a virtual 3-D tree that adds your in-laws.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, 6 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I have tried many family tree programmes but this is by far the best. It is easy to enter people and move around to sort out what can become a complex database. The research skills have been invaluable to get me started where I was at aloss before. The best part of this suite however is Easychart which is easy to use but flexible enough to produce many different types of chart. This included all an enhanced hourglass chart which is now displayed proudly on my wall!!. I would recommend it to anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't suffer a hard disk failure!, 11 Oct 2001
By Mark B. Rosher "bish" (Gloucestershire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been using this program for about a year and have found it to be reasonably good at keeping track of the data. However, recently I have had to restore from back-ups and found that the program fails to accept the back-up copies it made as genuine. It also fails to accept GEDCOM files it creatred itself as conforming to GEDCOM standards. All in all I am now looking to move to Family Tree Maker, since I cannot afford to lose the three thousand records I have on Generations V8

3.0 out of 5 stars tracing you're ancestors, 10 Sep 2001
By A Customer
The content of this package is well laid out and logical although reading the manual and supplied documentation is strongly recommended. The software graphics available are sound and easy to use. Most of the web sites and name indexes are of US origin so don't be misled by the title of 'UK edition'. This is meant as an aid to tracing family trees so don't expect to enter you're name and be presented with an instant tree - a lot of research is also required. A good package with a wide choice of graphics for those with some geneology research experience.
