>Dear Family Tree Maker Customer,
>
>Isn't what's happening in genealogy amazing? Thanks to the
>Internet and Family Tree Maker users like you, the pastime we
>share has just exploded in popularity -- and it shows no signs of
>slowing!
>
>With each passing day, the facts, dates, and stories we most
>desire are increasingly "out there" for the finding. But where
>exactly? Family Tree Maker Version 4.4 will help you find out. And
>once you have that precious information, Version 4.4 prints and
>preserves it better than ever before. Here's a taste of what's new
>in this exciting update...
>
>
>ONLINE FAMILYFINDER REPORT
>
>Last year we introduced the FamilyFinder Report -- a feature that
>creates a list of all the Family Archive CDs that may contain
>information about your ancestors. Now, we've greatly expanded the
>feature to include THOUSANDS of other sources on the Internet!
>
>Working with your Web browser, the Online FamilyFinder Report
>hunts high and low to find out which Internet and CD resources may
>reveal links to your family's past. The finished report lists all
>the matching Internet resources as hyperlinks, so you can reach
>them with just one click. As with the original FamilyFinder
>Report, matches are ranked with a 5-star scale according to how
>useful they are likely to be. And because it works on Family Tree
>Maker Online instead of on your computer, it's much faster than
>the original FamilyFinder Report, too.
>
>
>IMPROVED INTERNET FAMILYFINDER AGENTS
>
>The Internet changes every day, but how do you know what's new?
>Family Tree Maker's Internet FamilyFinder Agents scour the
>Internet for important clues in the search for your ancestors.
>With Version 4.4, now you can have Internet FamilyFinder Agents
>regularly search the Internet for information on ALL the
>individuals in your entire Family File, and send you e-mails
>whenever new information on any of them turns up. (In earlier
>versions, Internet FamilyFinder Agents limited your search to a
>maximum of ten individuals.)
>
>
>FAN TREES
>
>Traditional box-style ancestor and descendant trees can be hard to
>read once you start including more than a few generations. The new
>Fan Tree printout makes a neater arrangement that's pleasing to
>look at and is easier to read. It displays ancestors or
>descendants in an expanding circle around a primary individual,
>with each branch of the family tree extending from the center like
>the spoke of a bicycle wheel. As with all Family Tree Maker
>printouts, you can dress up your Fan Trees with the fonts,
>borders, and colors of your choice.
>
>
>PUBLISH FAMILY BOOKS ON YOUR FAMILY WEB PAGE
>
>Now you can post a customized Family Book on the Internet, right
>on your home page at Family Tree Maker Online. For those of us
>with relatives scattered in distant cities, this makes it easy to
>share frequent updates to the family history -- without the bother
>of mailing a new printout every time. And for the convenience of
>relatives who'll be viewing your Family Book, the Index and Table
>of Contents list each reference to a book item or individual as a
>hyperlink. Just click the hyperlink to move instantly to the book
>item or individual listed.
>
>Please note that because of current limitations in Internet
>technology, certain book items are not able to be posted to the
>Web pages (Fan Trees, Family Group Sheets, Labels, and Cards) and
>that the formatting of some posted items may appear differently
>than they do in print. Additionally, text items cannot display
>accompanying pictures on the Web.
>
>
>SPELL-CHECKER
>
>When you're busy digging for information about your ancestors,
>sometimes it's hard to keep an eye on correct spelling. So Family
>Tree Maker Version 4.4 makes it easy on you! We've added the
>ability to search for misspellings anywhere in your Notes and
>Family Books. You can even customize the spell-checker by adding
>unique words such as people's names.
>
>
>AUTOMATIC REFERENCE NUMBERS
>
>Long-time genealogists agree that creating a numbering system is a
>helpful way to keep family information identified. To make this
>process fast and accurate for you, Family Tree Maker can now
>automatically generate reference numbers for the individuals and
>marriages in your family tree. You can also attach prefixes and
>suffixes to keep track of who entered the information.
>
>
>UPGRADE NOW AND GET A FREE PROFESSIONAL GENEALOGY SEARCH!
>
>Is there a particularly challenging record you're trying to track
>down? By purchasing Family Tree Maker Version 4.4, you'll receive
>a FREE search -- valued at up to $14.95 -- from the professional
>genealogists at Genealogy Research Associates (GRA). Their great
>quality and range of resources have earned GRA an elite inter-
>national reputation, and their expertise can be yours FREE when
>you upgrade to Family Tree Maker Version 4.4.
>
>GRA will conduct your search in the International Genealogy Index
>(286 million surnames), the Ancestral File (30 million surnames),
>or the Family History Library Surname Catalog (50 million
>individuals). A find in one of these three databases could save
>you weeks of research and help coordinate your research with
>others interested in the same family lines.
>
>
>SO GO AHEAD, ORDER TODAY!
>
>Family Tree Maker Version 4.4 will be as familiar to you as all
>the previous versions designed for Windows. (You'll notice,
>however, that we've added an "Internet" menu to make it easier for
>you to take advantage of Family Tree Maker's many new online
>features.)
>
>When you upgrade, you won't need to re-type any of your family
>information -- it's completely compatible with your current Family
>File.
>
>Family Tree Maker Version 4.4 is available on CD-ROM for Windows
>3.1 and Windows 95. The upgrade will be released in February, but
