Personal Ancestry Writer II

Personal Ancestry Writer II is an excellent genealogy application that draws its inspiration from the Personal Ancestral File, made by the Mormon Church. With a host of useful features, Personal Ancestry Writer II builds on the capabilities of this excellent application and adds a few more that allow you to generate a plethora of web pages, word processing files, and desktop publishing files.

The application allows you to create genealogical dictionaries, registers, ahnentafels, and lineages, and includes features that generate interesting text files and pedigree charts. Moreover, Personal Ancestry Writer II provides flexible selection criteria that enable you to select subsets of people in a file by "tagging" them. Selections can include inclusion, exclusion, and intersection of the set of people meeting the criteria with those already tagged.

Think of Personal Ancestry Writer II as a possible next step in the development of the Macintosh PAF, had its development not been discontinued after release 2.3.1. The application is not intended to have the bells and whistles found in current genealogy programs. Its emphasis is on maintaining a genealogical database that enables you to write books and/or post web pages about a family.

Overall, Personal Ancestry Writer II is a robust program that provides an excellent tool for managing your genealogy database. With its powerful features and user-friendly interface, Personal Ancestry Writer II is the ultimate software for all your genealogy needs.
