Family Atlas Genealogy Mapping Software
As a Geographer and map maker I have fairly high expectations of location based database software. Family Atlas delivers a really great product. I was able to pull in my GED files with no problems. It even allowed me to add photos and other hyperlinked content to each location and customize my symbology. I was able to color code each branch or generation of my family to make it easy to see. I could print maps of the finshed product and even select a particular family group or an area (country, state, or city) on the map to print. Very nice and well worth the price.

Family Atlas works very well in pulling in the information from a genealogy program. It is an excellent resource for verifying place names and recognizes obsolete place names, giving the current name as well. This feature was especially useful to me, as many of my ancestors lived in towns in areas of Europe that have changed countries. The main product is a world map, however, you can zoom in on a section of the map to produce a map of that portion of the world. The map you produce can be exported to a word processing program, so you can insert the map into your family history story.
