The "UK
Edition" is a set of special UK-oriented customisations that
are automatically applied to a standard installation of The Master
Genealogist. All of the characteristics
of the standard product therefore also apply to the UK Edition
except as described below.
New UK-Style Charts
The Master
Genealogist now supports Descendant Box Charts (aka "drop-line
charts") and Hourglass Charts with a line style which is standard
among UK researchers.
In the
"U.S. Line Style", spouses are offset from the descendant
and children lines descend from the spouse box. All spouses are to
the right of the descendant.

In the
"UK Line Style", spouses are adjacent to the descendant
and connected with a double line. Children lines then descend from
the middle of the spouse line. If there is more than one spouse, then
the first spouse is to the left of the descendant.

(These
are very simple examples. Boxes can be generated without borders,
among many other options).
To control
line style for a chart, access the Report Definition Screen, click
on Options, and click on the Lines tab.
Although
geared towards UK audiences, these new chart styles are available
in all installations of TMG (v5.15 and later) and do not require the
UK Edition.

 The
CD-ROM version of TMG includes a free copy of "The Universal
British Directory of Great Britain 1791" from Archive
CD Books.
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.
