Family History CD

Specifications
Version 1.5; Windows 95-XP, Pentium or equivalent, 85 MB hard drive free space, 32 MB memory; CD writer; display: 256 colors, 800x600 resolution; mouse or tablet; $29.95, trial version available.

Features
Imports special pictures, audio, and video files directly and automatically from genealogy software. Choose from many options to import just the items that you want. If you want to include a genealogy file in your CD project, a genealogy viewer is added to the CD. If the computer running the CD already has genealogy software installed for that type of file, then the program will attempt to open it with the resident software. If the computer does not have genealogy software, the file will be opened with GenViewer Lite. This eliminates the need for every computer to have genealogy software already installed. GenViewer Lite can read GEDCOM, PAF 3-5, TMG 4 (The Master Genealogist), Family Tree Maker, and Legacy 3-5 files. You can enter descriptions and instructions for your files, as well as special features for pictures. Once your files are organized, you design your own creative front page with buttons linking to groups or individual files. Point and click to add pictures, backgrounds, text, colors, and buttons. You can make face labels—point the mouse at someone's face and the name pops up underneath. When the project is ready, burn the CD. No other software is needed.

Features
A normal export to GEDCOM file includes author information in the file only in one location—not linked to the individuals in the file. Because of this, it is very easy for others to incorporate your data into their own file without giving the proper credit to you, the GEDCOM author. On the other hand, when a GEDCOM file is processed through GEDmark, a source is attached to every person in the GEDCOM file, indicating your author information. Enter as much information as you would like, including name, address, telephone number, e-mail, website, and additional comments. This way, no matter how many times the GEDCOM file is split, imported, exported or submitted, your authorship of the research is protected.
