Day you were born UK updates
I found this item on Ebay. Liked the format,very user friendly,
but can not find ANY updates for the United Kingdom.
DO THEY EXIST? If anyone could help, I would be grateful. Email me at gladi8or@msn.com

The Day You Were Born
There, is no update site which is not helpful at all.I purchased this to do for my grandchildren,and there is no data for info as of 1997-1999 For us old folks I guess it would suffice but to do elaborate work for anyone after 97 not good when you cant update.If there was update site Iwould rate it a 10 as for user bility great such as graphics and things you can do.just give me updates

Pretty good
This is a pretty good program, could use a site to upgrade it every few years but makes a nice print out of best actors, actresses, NBA teams, NFL Teams ect for what ever date your wanting, also makes a "What happened on this date" section too, you can also add your own graphics and text so you can make your own. I've given printouts along with birthday cards for family and friends for an extra suprise in their cards. ... Read more

Poor item description
I was really steamed when I received this. The description does NOT tell you that the patriot CDs are only for sailors and soldiers from Massachusetts! Since my ancestor was from South Carolina, I would not have wasted my money on this had the description been accurate. ... Read more

Not so Quick & Easy
This product does OK when you are designing & developing your resume but the conversion process to a MS Word or PDF file is very poor (Something you have to do if you want your resume read by potential employers). Specific problems I had were noticable changes in format, lost bullets, lost lines, and overlapping words. I was able to correct most of the changes in WS Word but not in PDF. However, I found the whole process an inconvenience... thus returned the product within 24 hrs. ... Read more

TMG makes you a better genealogist ...
that is what I was told .. and it was true. I do use the Gold Edition of both 4.0d and the new 5.0 versions with WinXP and I have zero problems. The most unique feature of TMG is that it will allow you to chronologically record ANY piece of information ... it does not take a program modification to create a new field as TMG is 'event' oriented, therefore, any event can be recorded in full with date, location, all individuals who were present at the event, individual notes and even will allow you to create a different sentence structure to be output to narrative reports. Some people think TMG is more difficult to learn but it is only because we are used to having a special field for each item .. this is truly the most flexible genealogy software available. I have used PAF, Brother's Keeper, Family Tree Maker, Roots .. and a couple I don't even remember. I would NEVER leave TMG .. it just gives me everything I need .. and has definitely made me a better genealogist.

Good functionality but Not well tested in Windows XP
I had a number of small problems with this product upon install. I downloaded 4.0d patch from the WhollyGenes.com website. It took care of some of the problems, but not all. There was an additional free upgrade for 4.0 users, but Wholly Genes has a strict invoice only policy. If you buy 4.0 and are on Windows XP, keep your invoice as well as your registration and serial number information so you'll be able to get a working copy. You'll have to contact Support at Wholly Genes to get your upgrade.

A new note to add to this review. While the functionality of this program does seem superior to other Genealogy packages I've used (Family TreeMaker, Generations, PAF), the manual and help (after the free upgrade) are very limited and do not fully detail all of the tools available in the software. Also, a new CD and Manual for v5 were promised after the upgrade, but nearly 8 months later it has not arrived although Version 5.x is for sale (no more free upgrades from 4.x?) on the Wholly Genes website.

The Master Genealogist helps to manage the unmanagable!
The Master Genealogist is a great genealogy tool to record all your family information. TMG as it's known by in the industry, lets you store unlimited events per person and cite unlimited number of sources on that event. You can records multimedia exhibits as well as research notes along with all your names, dates and places. Wholly Genes has the benchmark technology for importing data from other databases as well as the GEDCOM format. Even if you're currently using another piece of software, TMG will probably be able to import it directly.

The reports output by TMG are very customizable as to the sentences output as well as the format of the report. Even though there is a long list of items that can be customized, TMG comes configured so that there are defaults for all the reports and settings. Learn as little or as much as you like about customizing tags (events), sentences, and report formats. The charts include fan, descendants, pedigree, and hourglass charts as well as several 'book' formats for genealogy narratives. The outstanding chart-printing program allows you to tweak the output to fit onto pages and add photographs or other graphics. These are great for family reunions.

Other tools include a master place list, relationship calculator, and date calculator. The master place list alone has greatly assisted me in cleaning up the place names in my database! You still have trouble remembering what 6th cousin 2 times removed means? Then use the relationship calculator on any two people in the database and let it do the tree climbing. The date calculator is always handy to figure out the birth date from the tombstone or obituary that says age: 21 years 6 months and 2 days.

You should know that this current product doesn't quite behave exactly like windows because it's a windows interface on top of a DOS program. Don't let this stop you from purchasing it though. The Windows product is coming shortly and you can use this product to learn about data entry and how to use the reports to show off your genealogy research.

Wholly Genes has always shown that it is committed to the integrity of your genealogy data. Even when bad things happen like the system powering down while in the middle of data entry, I didn't lose anything except the last line that I entered! I can't say that about many other programs.

Flexiblity, value, and integrity! What more can you ask for in one product?
