Power
of Digital Leverage
DearREADERS,
This just in from the great folks at Family Forest. I appreciate the results of
their brilliant minds! Global search makes things easier for genealogists! I
plan to demonstrate the "hour glass" pedigree/descendant feature to
our local computer genealogy group when we start up again this October.
Happy
family tree climbing!

The
Power of Digital Leverage
(Press Release; for immediate release)
Kamuela, Hawaii August 3, 2001- A young two-person company on an island in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean is laser-focused on using the power of digital
leverage to do just one amazing thing; create the world's most interconnected
digital collection of ancestral history. "You won't find anything else like
it anywhere." said Steve Johnson about the American & European
Family Forest Odyssey Edition.
http://www.interment.net/column/review/forest/index.htm
The Family Forest® project of Millisecond Publishing Company, Inc. is an
ongoing mission to digitally connect a vast wealth of professionally-recorded
paper-based history, flag the inconsistencies, filter out the confusing
duplication, and present the results in a fun, informative, and easy-to-use
point-and-click format.
The release of the Odyssey Edition marks the transition from a number of working
prototypes to a fully-merged, fully-sourced, seamless collection of ancestral
history. Now, for the first time, global searching within all earlier Family
Forest titles is possible. It has become a truly unique classroom-appropriate
history product/service that creates a bridge between the fields of genealogy
and the history.
According to The Random House College Dictionary, an odyssey is any long series
of wanderings, especially when filled with notable experiences.
Traveling
to notable experiences of your ancestors is what the Odyssey Edition of the
A&E Family Forest is all about. This extremely interconnected digital
collection of ancestral history produces countless unique views of mankind's
journey that have never been seen before, and cannot be seen anywhere else.
People can instantly zoom in to any and all points along our very long series of
wanderings through hundreds of fascinating historical and genealogical books and
periodicals. Our Family Forest tour guide service provides digital pathways to
the locations of a great wealth of fascinating recorded history about the
ancestors of probably at least one billion living people, and possibly more than
three billion. Numerous personally-enriching "Ah-Ha!" experiences are
waiting for each of those people within the A&E Family Forest.
Also introduced on this CD-ROM is Progeny Software's Family Explorer 3.6. In
addition to numerous enhancements to their already superior search-and-display
tools, the Hourglass Feature has been added. Hourglass charts provide vivid
visual examples of why the American & European Family Forest is A
People-Centered Approach To History®.
