- MyFamily 2.0 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 2.0 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. A sample genealogy file SAMPLE.DBF is
- included on the program diskette so that you may easily try out the
- program's various features.

- of storing multiple events for each individual. Each event contains a date
- and a description of the event. A Query Builder has been added to allow

- to see which records match the Query as it is being constructed. Additional
- new reports include the Query Listing, Event Sheet, Missing Information,
- a Life Span/Death Cause listing, and a Statistical report. All reports may
- now be viewed on screen (improved file viewer with text search capability),
