Latest Version of Personal and Family History Writing Software Now Available to the Public<\/em><\/p>\n

SPRINGVILLE, Utah. \u2014 September 28, 2011 \u2014 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.\u00a0 Personal Historian breaks this seemingly monumental task into small, manageable pieces and then reconstructs it into a complete, publishable document.\u00a0 With the release comes a free \u201cEssentials\u201d version of the software as well as a discount offer for new users and previous owners of the software.<\/p>\n

Bring Life to Your Life Stories<\/h3>\n

\u201cMany people want to write a personal history about themselves or family members but get lost or overwhelmed,\u201d said Michael Booth, vice-president and lead developer of the software.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s very gratifying to hear people tell us that they are finally able to write their life stories thanks to Personal Historian.\u201d<\/p>\n

Personal Historian creates an interactive timeline of a person\u2019s 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.\u00a0 The book may then be printed at home, edited in a word processor, published professionally, or shared with friends and family.<\/p>\n

New Features<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe new features in Personal Historian 2 have been worth the wait,\u201d said Bruce Buzbee, president. \u201cWhile we\u2019ve added many new and powerful features, we\u2019ve worked hard to make the software even easier to use than before.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Free \u201cPersonal Historian Essentials\u201d<\/h3>\n

RootsMagic is also releasing a new, free edition of Personal Historian named, \u201cPersonal Historian Essentials\u201d.\u00a0 Personal Historian Essentials contains many core features from the Personal Historian software and the two products are fully-compatible with one another.\u00a0 \u201cWe wanted to give everyone a risk-free option,\u201d said Booth.\u00a0 \u201cPersonal Historian Essentials is perfect for someone who wants to start writing a personal history but doesn\u2019t know where to begin.\u201d\u00a0 Personal Historian Essentials is available for download at http<\/a>:\/\/<\/a>www<\/a>.<\/a>personalhistorian<\/a>.<\/a>com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
