What is Family Origins?

is a genealogy application which allows you to simultaneously open up to nine databases.

In depth

A closer look at Family Origins

The program's features include: the ability to drag and drop data between databases and open multiple copies (and views) of the same database; support for an unlimited number of people, facts, notes, sources, and places; over 50 predefined fact types (birth, marriage, death, occupation, religion, and so on); and the ability to create your own.

You can easily track multiple relationships, such as adoptions and foster parents, and use the integrated backup and restore functions to safeguard your data.

Family Origins includes support for international character sets; an Explorer function which lets you easily find and edit anyone in your family tree; and a Marriage List function which enables you to search by marriage (including a woman's maiden name).

You can also process GEDCOM ancestor and descendant trees, as well as reports, and select all GEDCOM related individuals.

The program allows you to print heirloom-quality trees, including hourglass wall charts to display all ancestors and descendants of a person, customized border styles and colors, and images.

You can also print detailed family stories with full documentation, such as stories of your ancestors and descendants, indented descendancy books, Henry descendant books, and D'Aboville descendant books.

Family Origins lets you generate calendars with birthdays and anniversaries, address labels, Surname statistics lists, and missing information lists, and enables you to set the margins, headers, and footers for all printouts.

You can also attach sound clips, photographs, and video clips to any person; scan photos directly into the program; edit photos within it, including sharpness, brightness, and contrast; crop, rotate, and zoom your images; and put your family on the Web.

In addition, the program features a correspondence logger, a spell checker, a to-do list function, a date calculator, and much more.
