Our national obsession with hunting for our ancestors will move up a gear with the latest edition of Generations Family Tree.

The 20 CD Grande Suite Version 8.0, especially designed for the UK, is all about finding and organising data and displaying it in a way that makes it easy to understand.

The central feature of the product is Generations' Easy Tree and Easy Chart software which allow a user to enter details of their ancestors complete with notes, pictures and other attachments.

This information can then be printed out as a pedigree showing the relationship between all the entries.

Generations' Family Tree software is remarkably easy to use, providing one hand is kept on the instruction manual at all times.

It installs quickly and easily but the new user does need to be careful to input accurate data right from the start.

Because it is so comprehensive, many leading UK genealogists recommend this major product.

It is a favourite because it offers so much information specific to England, Scotland and Wales and even includes an index to Griffith's Valuation of Ireland which lists all Irish properties from 1848 to 1864, giving details of ownership.

Other features include a copy of PhotoArtist to restore old photographs, MasterCook Heritage Edition to preserve old family recipes and I collect, which is a utility that allows the user to search the internet for relevant genealogical information.

Generations' Family Tree offers stunning value for money and is a premier software resource for UK genealogists.

If you want a better-than- average chance of completing your family tree then go and buy a copy today!
