A-Gene V5 is a genealogical data-base program capable of maintaining files on approximately 1500 persons and 500 marriages on a single floppy data disk. Larger data-bases can be constructed if you have a hard-drive. A-Gene logs details of a Person's birth/death/burial/marriage(s) along with baptism/confirmation/immigration dates, occupation etc. A-Gene also includes a built in text editor which is used to append "Free-form" notes/comments to any person's record in the Data-Base. A further feature is the ability to view digitised photos of persons/weddings etc.from within the program.Persons and marriage records can be searched on Surname, Christian Name, Full Name, Birth Date, City and Country (or any combination thereof) as well as on the user definable codes.. Searches on surnames using the "SOUNDEX" code system are also possible. This version also includes Ordinances for members of the Church of Latter Day Saints.(Of interest to LDS members and others, the program includes a module to convert A-Gene files to the LDS GEDCOM standard (and vice versa) to enable the transfer of files to IBM PCs running genealogy programs such as P.A.F.) All text and menues in the program are held in ASCII text files and as such may be odified by the user to reflect their own requirements or may be translated into other languages without difficulty. Reports, which may be output to screen, printer or disk file in most cases, include Pedigree Charts of any person, Family Group sheets, Descendants charts for up to 50 generations and arious lists of persons, marriages etc.sorted in various orders.
