If you've been thinking of finding your ancestors or are already working on your family tree, tonight you'll have a chance to see how one of the top-rated genealogy programs works. This is a complete revamping of RootsMagic, adding new functions and keeping the best of the old ones. There are small changes, like "Live Spell Checking." This means that when you misspell a word, the program underlines it, shows a menu of suggested spellings, and corrects the word when you click on one of the options. One of the "Wow" features is the mapping feature that enable you to open a list of all the places in your database. Click on a place and you'll see a map. Included are all the Virtual Earth tools like 3-D view, and you can print or copy your map to the clipboard. Another great feature is the ability to search sites like FamilySearch or Ancestry without leaving the program. This is a big time saver. The "RootsMagic-To-Go" feature lets you install RootsMagic to a removable drive, take it with you and run the program on another computer, for example at a library or at a relative's house.
Kaye will show a tutorial that comes with the program to give you some idea of how much help is available for users. There will also be a class for RM4 setup this summer.
