Cumberland Family Tree Pro for Windows

Try it before you buy it! Fully functional 45 day free trial period. Simply download and install.

Cumberland Family Tree (Version 3) is a powerful second generation genealogy program - many features, multi-lingual, easy-to-use! Automatically links names as they are added to the database. Include multiple marriages, scanned photos and documents, sources, stories and more... Wide variety of reports. Even create your very own indexed family history book!

The major concept of CFT-Win centers around creating your very own Family History Book (although the program still maintains the capability of printing individual reports). The body of your book will likely consist of the unique "Story" reports, which have the capability of taking your dry data - such as dates and places - and structuring them into a delightful readable form. By allowing you to add up to 250 events in a persons life and attaching notes to those events you can easily create a full and complete biography on each individual in the database! Imagine showing ALL major events of a person's life in this fashion: births, church ordinances, schooling, addresses, immigrations, marriages, occupations, travels, awards, deaths, burials and any other life event you could think of!

In addition, you can easily document your data with source notes which can be end-noted when printing the story reports. The Indexed Book will keep track of all individuals as you create the book and at the end show an index of every individual in the book - plus you can print the source notes which will have been footnoted througout the book.

And if you think the Indexed Book is a wonderful idea, imagine what it will be like when you add photographs and scanned documents! A wide variety of Photo reports can also be generated: pedigree charts with photos, descendant charts with photos, family groups charts and even a photo album.
