Users will have access to registries with over 350 million names, and online resources provide access to over 500 million more names. The tree and chart-making are still somewhat tricky at first, but the fascinating information on Ellis Island and the additional resources available in this package make it a great choice for genealogy buffs.

Amazon.com Review

You're a genealogist, whether you know it yet or not--if you've got a family, you've got history. The Generations Family Tree Millennium Collection from Sierra is packed with enough information, programs, and services to keep you busy tracking down names of long-forgotten relatives well into the night for years to come. The audio-video tutorial is informative and well paced and helps even the greenest beginner get started instantly. The interface is lively and intuitive; even novice computer users will find themselves breezing through the commands in short order.

You can track down much of your family history with the over 350 million names and other resources included on the 21 CD-ROMs, which are well organized so you won't get finger cramps from removing and replacing them ad nauseam. Organize the information any way you like using one of the many customizable schemes provided; use colors and shading to highlight links between generations, and include photos and other multimedia into your charts, all with the push of a button. You'll also get a free month's membership for Ancestry.com, the Web's premier genealogical site, and the use of a professional genealogist from Salt Lake City's Heritage Quest (which has access to over 2 billion names!) for a free consultation.

Digitally repair and preserve old photos, use the exclusive Ellis Island immigration database, and pass on your results to others via print, e-mail, or the Web. It's hard to imagine that one small box can contain a lifetime's worth of resources, but Generations Family Tree Millennium Collection has all you need to take on a new part-time job as family historian. --Rob Lightner
