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.
“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.
“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.
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 available for
