Pearl Street Software adds allure to its top-of-the-line genealogy program.
Looks may not be everything, but when you're preserving your pedigree findings, well, let's be honest: No one wants ugly-duckling charts and reports.
Enter Family Tree Legends <www.familytreelegends.com>, one of the most attractive genealogy programs on the market. Version 5.0 packs even more charting options into a program that already boasted uncluttered screens, eye catching graphics and a refreshing pastel color scheme.
The latest edition expands the software's impressive array of reports to include fan charts in three styles — a quarter circle, a semicircle and a three-quarters circle. Starting with a plain chart of your ancestors or descendants, you can customize the fonts and boxes, and add a background color or image.
