The
handy new Query By Example tab is a shortcut for creating
simple filters on the Picklist, Project Explorer, or List
of People report. Don't bother with building filter conditions.
Simply fill in the blanks and click on <OK> to filter
the list.
But
that's just the beginning! You can use the Query By Example
screen to learn how to use TMG's more powerful filtering features.
After
entering some search criteria, click on the Filter
tab to see how you can represent the same conditions
using a filter. Then you can further customize the filter,
add other conditions, etc.
It
is not just an alternative to filters. It is a great way to
learn how to use some of TMG's most powerful features, including
filter operators, AND/OR connectors, parentheses, etc.

DNA
testing is getting more popular and it is destined to be one
of the family historian's most valuable tools.
The
new DNA Log lets you record the results of DNA tests
for the people in your project. You can keep track of multiple
tests for each person, including the laboratory results, your
own comments, and links to web sites that explain the tests.
TMG
v6 supports a variety of current DNA fingerprint tests from
popular laboratories and can be expanded to support other
tests and laboratories using a powerful template system.

 A
new Witness Memo field. Now you can have a separate memo
for each witness. The contents can be referenced by the new
witness sentence variables [WM], [WM1]...[WM9]. |
|
A
new Citation Memo field is designed to hold comments,
rationale, etc., that is separate from Citation Detail and is
not necessarily intended to be output. However, it can be referenced
by the new source template variables [CM], [CM1]...[CM9]. |
|
Source
output can now include the contents of the repository memo.
The source template can refer to [REPOSITORY MEMO], [REPOSITORY
MEMO1]...[REPOSITORY MEMO9]. Shorter versions of the same variables,
[RM], [RM1]...[RM9], are also supported. |
|
All
memo fields now show formatted text, rather than codes,
for bold, italics, underline, etc. (see image) |

GenSmarts(tm)
analyzes your research data and provides advice about how
to fill the holes in your research. It makes detailed suggestions
about what records to search, where, and why.
GenSmarts™
users* can now access this popular
research advisor directly from within TMG.
Now
you can simply access TMG's Tools menu and choose "Research
suggestions from GenSmarts." TMG will leverage the power
of GenSmarts to produce a list of research suggestions for
the focus person. The complete explanation for each GenSmarts
suggestion is also included.
If
the data is available online, then you can just click to access
it.
You
can even select one or more GenSmarts suggestions and convert
them into TMG research tasks with one click. When you
are ready for a research trip, you can generate a List of
Tasks report.
And
you can do it all without ever leaving TMG!

Those
who purchase the upgrade to TMG v6 on a CD-ROM will also include
a free copy of "The Universal British Directory of Great
Britain 1791" from Archive CD Books on the same disk
(a $65 value!). |
 |
|
|
Digitized
from five huge volumes, this is the earliest directory for
Great Britain and is among the most important resources for
those researching ancestors in the United Kingdom.
It
includes excellent descriptions of towns and villages of the
time and those residents with trades (even farmers, hay-binders,
labourers, bakers, shop keepers, etc.) and their addresses.
Although
titled "Great Britain," this directory covers places
in England and Wales. Volume 1 is devoted to London, volumes
2 to 4 cover the places in England and Wales in alphabetical
order, and vol 5 contains a number of the subsequent amendments
that were published in the next few years.
