RootsMagic 3.2.2

The Windows genealogy software package, RootsMagic 3, has been updated to version 3.2.2. RootsMagic retails for $29.99, and runs on Windows XP, 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000.

This is just a minor update. FTM “family notes” now import properly when doing direct FTM import. Other minor tweaks were made to the application as well.

Brother’s Keeper 6.2.17

Brother’s Keeper version 6.2.17 came out yesterday. Brother’s Keeper is a Windows genealogy application, and this is a free update for existing Brother’s Keeper 6.x users. If you already have BK installed on your PC, check the “Help” and then “About” menus to see what version you have. This update consisted of three fixes and a change/update for Brazillian users.

Fixed
- Fixed a problem where if a person had more than one spouse, and if you had a Family Note attached to one couple, then you changed to another spouse and added another Note, it would sometimes duplicate the same Note for both spouses.
- Sometimes on the Book reports, in the Norwegian version, if a couple was set up with a Common Law marriage, it would print the word “med” twice.
- When printing the Ahnentafel Book report, if you selected the option to have Notes printed with a blank line before and after each note, it was printing too many blank lines after.

Changed
- The Backup routine will also work with Windows XP Brazilian version.

The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding 5.1.3 (TNG)

The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) 5.1.3 is available for registered TNG 5.x users. TNG is an online genealogy colaboration application, using PHP some kind of database (usually MySQL). One of the advantages it has over using a stand-alone genealogy application that generates HTML pages to be uploaded to a web-site, is that it can be used and updated in real-time, from collaborating family members, even if you are spread around the world. GEDCOM files can be uploaded and read-in, or downloaded to be used offline as well.

This version fixes some bugs, changes how GENDEX files are saved (with .txt instead of .gdx extension), improves search engine compatability, as well as several other minor changes.
