Latest Version of Personal and Family History Writing Software Now Available to the Public
SPRINGVILLE, Utah. — September
28, 2011 — RootsMagic, Inc. today announced the official release of Personal
Historian 2, the latest version of the ground-breaking computer software which
helps you write the story of your life and of other individuals. Personal Historian breaks this seemingly
monumental task into small, manageable pieces and then reconstructs it into a
complete, publishable document. With the
release comes a free “Essentials” version of the software as well as a discount
offer for new users and previous owners of the software.
Bring Life to Your Life Stories
“Many people want to write a
personal history about themselves or family members but get lost or
overwhelmed,” said Michael Booth, vice-president and lead developer of the
software. “It’s very gratifying to hear
people tell us that they are finally able to write their life stories thanks to
Personal Historian.”
Personal Historian creates an
interactive timeline of a person’s life to keep the stories organized, give
context to life events, and to allow users to write stories in any order they
wish. When ready, Personal Historian will compile the stories into a finished
book complete with table of contents, chapters, pictures, indexes, and
more. The book may then be printed at
home, edited in a word processor, published professionally, or shared with
friends and family.
New Features
“The new features in Personal
Historian 2 have been worth the wait,” said Bruce Buzbee, president. “While
we’ve added many new and powerful features, we’ve worked hard to make the
software even easier to use than before.”
Personal Historian 2 boasts an
impressive list of over 40 features including streamlined step-by-step wizards;
expanded timelines and memory trigger questions; easy filtering and searching
of stories; management of categories, people, and places; improved outlining
and writing analysis; wrapping of text around pictures; fonts and text styles;
and more-powerful publishing and output options.
Free “Personal Historian Essentials”
RootsMagic is also releasing a new, free edition of Personal
Historian named, “Personal Historian Essentials”. Personal Historian Essentials contains many
core features from the Personal Historian software and the two products are
fully-compatible with one another. “We
wanted to give everyone a risk-free option,” said Booth. “Personal Historian Essentials is perfect for
someone who wants to start writing a personal history but doesn’t know where to
begin.” Personal Historian Essentials is
