This long-awaited update to this popular program provides many add-on features for users of the most common family history programs. Family Tree SuperTools offers superior wall charting functions, advanced project management tools, timelines, multimedia slideshows, web searching, and a variety of other features for users of Family Tree Maker Personal Ancestral Fil, Legac, Generations and other programs. Family Tree SuperTools uses GenBridge technology to read data directly from those programs, avoiding the many problems commonly associated with GEDCOM transfers. After making data changes in his/her family tree program, the researcher merely clicks on Refresh to bring the Family Tree SuperTools database up-to-date. NOTE TO TMG USERS: Family Tree SuperTools is not designed for you! If you have the most recent version of The Master Genealogist, then you already have the features that are built into Family Tree SuperTools. Since Family Tree SuperTools can exchange data directly with TMG, however, it makes a great gift for non-TMG researchers with whom you want to share data. Family Tree SuperTools is just $17.95 as a download or $19.95 plus shipping and handling by mail. For the full product description and upgrade instructions, please see: http://www.whollygenes.com/supertools.htm === NEW: Downloadable digital books ================== Due to popular demand, we will be introducing some of the digital books from our sister company, Archive CD Books USA, in a downloadable form.

Product descriptions are by Robert Charles Anderson, FASG, for Archive CD Books USA. Mason A. Green, SPRINGFIELD, 1636-1886, HISTORY OF TOWN AND CITY, INCLUDING AN ACCOUNT OF THE QUARTER-MILLENIAL CELEBRATION, (1888) 2006 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb...WS&p=US0241 The author covers the first two-and-a-half centuries of the history of Springfield, the first Massachusetts town settled on the Connecticut River. He utilizes the many sources created mostly by the Pynchon family, such as town records, county court records, private correspondence and account books. Through the inclusion of many extracts from the town records, Green presents many of the grants of land to the earliest settlers. Court records provide details of an early outbreak of witchcraft accusations, and other examples of disruptive behavior. Given the situation of Springfield on the frontier for many decades, close attention is paid to relations with the neighboring Indian tribes, and the many conflicts with these Indians. The volume closes with extensive verbatim transcripts of the speeches and other presentations made at the celebration of the town's 250th anniversary in 1886. Much of this material was historical in nature, and so amounts to a history within the history. George Faber Clark, A HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF NORTON, BRISTOL COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS FROM 1669 TO 1859, (1859) 2006 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb...WS&p=US0253 Clark surveys the history of the town of Norton, Massachusetts, from the time of its first settlement to the date of publication. The author makes extensive use of transcripts of original town, county, colony and state documents, and places special emphasis on the history of the churches of Norton. The town of Norton grew out of the North Purchase of Taunton and contiguous parts of the original Taunton purchase. As Taunton matured, this northern part of the town was granted precinct status, and then set off as a separate town in 1711. In 1725 part of Norton was set off as the town of Easton, and in 1775 another part of the town was set off as the town of Mansfield. The author included complete transcripts of many of the official petitions and court orders leading up to the establishment of the town and the first church. There are many lists which include the names of large numbers of the residents of the town, including tax lists, militia lists from the French and Indian and the Revolutionary wars, as well as the complete 1855 state census for the town. There are brief biographical sketches of the earliest settlers of the town, and also of judges, physicians and college graduates associated with Norton. Clark pays special attention to the history of the Congregational Church of Norton, including lists of admissions to membership in the church during the eighteenth century. He also includes information on later churches established in the town. === Changing your email address ==================== Our staff is also unable to keep up with the huge job of making email address changes so please take advantage of the ability to make those changes yourself.
