MyFamily 2.1 is a full featured software package designed for the
maintenance of genealogical records and family histories. The program
is menu driven and very easy to learn and to use. MyFamily 2.1 contains
features normally found only in expensive commercial packages. MyFamily
produces ancestor and descendant charts, individual and family sheets,
event sheets, missing information sheets, various lists, blank forms, and
a statistical report. A Query Builder enables the user to easily perform
complex data queries. Reports may be viewed on screen, printed, or saved
to disk. Additional features include macro keys, free form comment text,
calendar utility, copying of selected records, and an easy data backup
routine. You may also copy, delete, rename, or view files without leaving
MyFamily. There are no limits placed on the number of children, previous
marriages, or generations entered.
