• citations
• repositories
• independent projects
• people
• events per person
• names per person
• relationships

• user-defined flags

And most data-entry fields are of unlimited length - so there's no need for awkward abbreviations.

Bring Your Data With You

When you upgrade to TMG, you can import your data directly (i.e., without GEDCOM) from a long list of other genealogy programs using the built-in GenBridge(tm) technology. TMG v6 adds support for many of the most common programs on the market.

While TMG will also import data through GEDCOM v4.0 or v5.5, the direct import process usually produces much more complete and accurate results and is strongly recommended.

The following formats and versions are supported directly (i.e., without GEDCOM) in TMG:

Easy for the Beginner to Use

The novice researcher can be productive within minutes. More powerful features and hot keys are gradually revealed as the user gains more experience.

Beginner and Advanced data entry modes let you match the interface to your experience. New wizards take you step-by-step through the more detailed procedures. "Tips and Hints" and "Cue Cards" introduce you to new features along the way. Data entry is made easy with repeat keys, macros, lookup tables, and other shortcuts. TMG's interface is designed to stay out of your way so you can concentrate on research.

TMG includes a Users Guide and an detailed context-sensitive help file. For those who are more comfortable learning through demonstration, self-paced video training tapes are also available.

Have It Your Way

While TMG comes ready to print dozens of predefined reports with no hassle, its powerful report writer includes the ability to define your own. With access to hundreds of options, powerful filtering tools, and font control, you are in control and your reports are truly one-of-a-kind! And when you save your creation by name, you can generate the same report again later in one easy step.

TMG puts an end to monotonous automated "narratives." The Master Genealogist puts creativity into your hands by giving you control of every sentence in every paragraph. By honoring your preference globally or locally, TMG's narrative reports actually reflect your writing style.

Unbeatable Reports

The Master Genealogist produces dozens of narrative reports, charts and forms designed for research, correspondence, and publication, including many varieties of:

• Family Group Sheets
• Pedigrees

TMG Gold Edition Knows Word Processors

The Master Genealogist can export most reports in Rich Text Format (RTF), Adobe Acrobat™ (PDF), and ASCII text.

But that's just the beginning. TMG Gold Edition can speak directly to more than 50 word processor formats, including Word and WordPerfect, by producing reports in their native file formats. (Silver Edition supports RTF, ASCII, and PDF only).

Because TMG Gold Edition uses the native features of your word processor (not an intermediate file format), it seamlessly supports headers/footers, endnotes and footnotes, multiple indexes, table of contents, superscript/subscript, master documents, and much more!
