Discovering family origins, tracing the beginning of a genetic disease or disorder and connecting with the past, are just a few reasons to create a family tree. Creating pedigrees, family trees, charts or graphs is easier to do using genogram software. Picking quality software is critical if there is a desire to digitize family records and history. This article details two such types of software.
. Family Tree Builder is available on http://www.myheritage.com. It visually creates a family tree and makes it easy to add family members with the built in database. Wizard software helps quickly and easily create the beginnings of a family tree. There is the ability to add family pictures, and it features facial recognition software. Another feature, Smart Matching, compares the family tree to others to help users find new family members and connections. Maps provide a visual of the places relatives lived, and charts are customizable for individual use. With support for 37 languages, the Family Tree Builder is available as a free download. Ancestry.com is a company with a very long online presence. Its software makes it easy to create a new family tree. Simply answer a few questions, or import a genealogy file or existing tree from Ancestry.com, and the new tree is created. A family tab allows the viewing of several generations of the family. Clicking on individual family members is an easy way to add life events and more family members. It is easy to add pictures and organize them, scan them directly into the tree and link them to more than one individual. There are custom templates available for download, if something different is needed for a project. Lastly, there is the ability to create stories or autobiographies about family members using collected facts and pictures. Simply drop and drag to create a new story.
