It lets you take your genealogy data with you wherever you go. Since handheld computers can fit in your shirt pocket or purse, they are much more convenient than a laptop or a 3-ring binder. With My Roots, you can stay organized and work more efficiently whether you&#8217;re at a courthouse, library, or family reunion.<\/p>\n<p>My Roots comes with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tapperware.com\/MyRoots\/download.html\">free conversion utility<\/a> (tapperware.com &#8211; Windows or Macintosh) for importing data from GED files created by all the best-selling desktop genealogy applications including Family Tree Maker, Legacy, PAF, and Reunion (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tapperware.com\/MyRoots\/faq.html>FAQ<\/a> (tapperware.com) for a complete list).<\/p>\n<p>You can view and modify data right in My Roots. Once you&#8217;ve finished making changes, for example, after a trip to the research library, you can export your data to a GED file. My Roots provides many ways to view your data, including ancestor trees, descendant trees, filtering, and a graphical relationship calculator.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\">\n          <strong>Cost: <\/strong> $24.95\n          <\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\">\n           <strong>Demo:<\/strong> Download <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tapperware.com\/MyRoots\/download.html\">here<\/a> (tapperware.com)\n            <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\">\n          <strong>GEDCOM Support: <\/strong>Yes\n          <\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\">\n           <strong>Hi-Res Support: <\/strong> Yes\n            <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\">\n          <strong>Current Version: <\/strong> 4.05\n          <\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\" valign=\"middle\">\n           <strong>Last Updated:<\/strong> 24 May 2005\n            <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Last Updates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>* Support has been added for storing databases on the Internal Drive of the PalmOne T5<br \/>\n* Several minor bug fixes &#8211; all users should install this version <\/ul>\n<p><strong>OS Required:<\/strong> Palm OS v3.0 or later.

There is a PC version, and for Macintosh, both an OS 8\/9 version and a native OS X version.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy Navigation<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen looking at a person&#8217;s detailed information, you can switch to the person&#8217;s father, mother, or children in one tap. You can switch to a sibling in two taps, and it requires only one tap to edit an event or fact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family Group Sheet<\/strong><br \/>\nThe family group sheet screen displays all relevant family information in one place, including family events, children, and multiple spouses. You can move up or down the family tree in a single tap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ancestor and Descendant Trees<\/strong><br \/>\nMy Roots can display a 4-generation ancestor or descendant tree for any individual. The tree can be re-displayed for any other person in a single tap. You can also switch between ancestor and descendant trees in one tap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relationship Calculator<\/strong><br \/>\nMy Roots provides a graphical relationship calculator for finding relationships between blood-relatives. In addition to a textual description of the relationship (e.g., &#8220;1st Cousins twice removed&#8221;), it also shows you the people through which they are related.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filtering<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can display a subset of your data by creating up to three simultaneous filters. For example, you could set one filter to be &#8220;surname is Jones&#8221;, another to be &#8220;birth year before 1900&#8221;, and a third to be &#8220;birth location contains Ohio&#8221;. Only people that meet all three criteria will be displayed until you cancel the filters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sorting<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can sort the List of People by name, date of birth, or date of death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find Function<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing the built-in Find function, you can quickly locate an individual even in a very large database.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multiple Databases<\/strong><br \/>\nMy Roots allows you to create multiple databases. This lets you divide up your data in whatever way makes sense for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soundex<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen editing a person&#8217;s name, the corresponding Soundex code is automatically displayed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Device Compatibility<\/strong><br \/>\nMy Roots works on any handheld running Palm OS\u00c2\u00ae 3 or later, and supports both monochrome and color displays. You can run My Roots from main memory or from an expansion card, and databases can also be stored on Internal Drives and expansion cards. My Roots provides support for minimizing, maximizing, and rotating the display on handhelds running Palm OS\u00c2\u00ae 5, such as the PalmOne Tungsten T3 and T5 and the Sony UX-50.\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: My Roots Developer: Tapperware Developer&#8217;s Description: My Roots is the most powerful genealogy application available for Palm OS\u00c2\u00ae handhelds.
