Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

What's in a name? Find out by searching over three billion (that's right) names, using the resources contained in the Generations Family Tree: Grande Suite 8.0. This monumental 20-CD set has it all: instantly accessible databases, thousands of online options, and dozens of display models. Best of all, this is the first-ever UK edition of the software, and it includes indexes of English, Irish and Scottish names, the UK Deeds Index, European and UK Historic Map libraries, and more.

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're waiting for the installation or your Internet connection, browse through the paperback copy of Netting Your Ancestors by Web guru Cyndi Howells; it'll 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'll organise your chart. Use traditional tree structures with lovely full-colour backgrounds, cascading pedigrees, 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, and all information can be published to the Web from within Generations.

Accessories include Photo Artist for repairing and resizing digital images, MasterCook Heritage Edition for preserving family recipes, and iCollect for efficient offline research. Even if you've never been interested in genealogy before, Generations Family Tree will make it fun; you'll find that Grandma Rose by any other name is just as sweet. --Rob Lightner, amazon.com and Kathleen Keefe amazon.co.uk

2.0 out of 5 stars American Only, 27 April 2001
By A Customer
I purchased Generations Grande Suite British Edition shortley after christmas. I was really please & eager to go. The box stated `Ultimate guide to your british Ancesteors`. `Acess to 2500 British genealogical Sites` . Take it from me unless you are American this is of no used to you at all . I might as well have purchased your basic of the shelve £9.99 product. I am so dissapointed this was a total let down any imformation I have is just through normal web searching. I thought I could have alittle more faith nowadays . Truley disapointing......

1.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointing and Highly Over-Rated Product., 7 Mar 2001
Although the data recording and charting facilities are very satisfactory and easy to use,these represent merely one part of one CD. Most of the remaining CDs are US oriented and seem to be largely identical to many of those contained in the US edition. The 7 CD Name Index,for example,contains very little of use or relevance to anybody seeking their UK ancestors. It is true that a number of CDs with a specific British/European flavour have been included,but they are largely of academic interest and are,at best,of marginal value. The CD devoted to the history of signatories to Magna Carta and their US based descendants illustrates this claim. In short,the manufacturers have burdened the purchaser with a great deal of what is irrelevant to his needs in an attempt to justify the high price of this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't bother, 24 Feb 2001
By A Customer
not worth it, the bundled CDs are a waste of time and space making it very expensive for very mediocre software. I certainly regret my purchase.
