The
Master Genealogist
(or "TMG") v7 is the gold standard in family history software.
Used by novices and professional researchers alike, the latest version
reinforces TMG's reputation as the most powerful family history project
manager on the market while adding many new features to make it easier
and fun to use.
Whether you
are a weekend hobbyist or a professional researcher, TMG comes with everything
you need to:
- manage
volumes of research data, photos, and sources;
- organize
a research trip, including "To Do" lists, reference material,
charts, and forms;
- track
your correspondence and expenses;
- be the
hit of a family reunion!
- create
a web page;
- ... or
publish a book, complete with table of contents, footnotes, multiple
indexes, and bibliography!
Bring
your data with you!
Although GEDCOM is supported, TMG's GenBridge™ import technology
does a much better job of transferring your data in most cases. Import
directly from Family Tree Maker™, Personal Ancestral File (PAF)™,
and other programs.
Ultimate
Flexibility
The Master Genealogist is limited only by your imagination. You can
customize data entry through user-defined event, name, and relationship
types. Almost every aspect of the working environment can also be customized,
including fonts, colors, and the size and position of windows.
Professional
tools
TMG was designed by experienced genealogists who understand and prepare
you for common research problems, including adoptions, name changes, conflicting
evidence, and multiple lines of descent.
Tools
for novice researchers
Despite the unmatched power of TMG, it is designed with features to
let the novice get started quickly and grow into the more advanced features.
Wizards, "Cue Cards", data-entry templates, ditto keys, macros,
and other features make TMG easy to learn and use.
Unbeatable
reports!
TMG includes dozens of preconfigured reports, including narratives, forms,
charts, and lists. You can also customize any report and save it with
a new name so that you can easily use the same settings again. Additional
publication tools give authors maximum control.
Supercharged
searches
Are you trying to find people in your data who were named SMITH, born
in Maryland or Virginia after 1800, lived in Tennessee or Kentucky, had
two or more sons, and died at the age of 75 or higher? TMG's searching
features provide unparalleled power and flexibility, including user-defined
filter conditions, AND/OR logic, and thousands of other options.
Web
integration
The Internet is a great resource for researchers and provides a way
for you to easily share your efforts with others. TMG includes a variety
of Internet search and publication tools.
Multimedia
Images, sound, movies, and other multimedia add flavor to your research
and bring your family to life. You can link multimedia to people, events,
sources, and repositories. You can even build multimedia slideshows and
distribute them to your family members!
Sources
When it comes to tracking your sources, The Master Genealogist really
shines! Data-entry templates make it easy to record your sources and produce
professional output. The Master Genealogist accommodates the highest academic
standards.
Special
Features
The Master Genealogist includes a variety of powerful features that
are not found in typical family history programs. These features help
you to coordinate with other researchers, analyze your data, see your
family in the context of history, and see the "big picture."
New
Features
Although TMG Version 6 was the most powerful family history project
manager on the market by all accounts, Version 7 added more than 50
new features that were requested by researchers.

 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.
