Pearl Street Software, creator of Family Tree Legends genealogy software <www.familytreelegends.com> and the GenCircles <www.gencircles.com> pedigree Web site, launched a new online records collection in June. (Note: Pearl Street Software is no longer in business. You now can access its software and records free from this <www.familytreelegends.com>.)

The 400 million-name Family Tree Legends Records Collection <www.familytreelegends.com/records> holds data from more than 1,500 sources spanning the 1600s to mid-1900s. It includes birth, marriage and death indexes for most states; military records; land records; court and probate records; biographies; cemetery transcriptions; and digitized books. An annual subscription costs $29.95; subscribers don't need Family Tree Legends software.
