Hello,

You do suprise me because I have made two books from this programme. I used
"Register Report". It gives you every generation that you need or want
written in book form in the correct order. Once you have got that you can add
your own words to the already prepared script and photos as well. Why don't
you try one and see if it is suitable.

You can cut and paste little family history extras into it, in fact I found
it one of the most helpful things about the programme. I made a family
history book for my last boss and he was very pleased with it. I added a lot of
his family photos and some wonderful extra histories of certain people in that
tree. Personally I found it the most helpful and useful part of the
Generations.

I would be interested in how this works out for you whatever programme you
use.

Cheers
