Microsoft Access Family Tree Genealogy History Templates Database

If you are just getting started with your family history and do not have too much information at your disposal, then one idea is to work methodically backwards in time. More often than not, it is easier to collect more data when starting with a date of birth or the marriage of a relative than attempting to trace down a person you do not know too much about.

Microsoft Access Family Tree Genealogy History Templates Database is an extension that can help you record the data you learn while going through documents and records about your family's history.

As its name suggests, this is a template for Access's database, so it goes without saying that you need to have Microsoft Office installed on your computer. While it includes a defined structure, the extension borrows the looks and feels of the Access version you are using.

The main switchboard includes an intuitive menu that allows you to add new entries, view the list of relatives and families already included as well as reports about them. Although an advanced feature, it would have been nice if the templates enables you to attach files or photos to your entries.

You will be happy to learn that you do not need to have extensive knowledge of how to manage databases in order to use this tool. As a matter of fact, adding a new relative or family is as easy as specifying several details about them.

To put it simple, you can include pieces of information such as full name, given name, surname, genre, birth date and location as well as details about their death, if applicable. It is worth mentioning that every new entry gets a unique ID, so there would be no confusion when you are searching for a relative in the database.

In case you need a utility that enables you to add, remove and edit information about your relatives as you gather more and more data, then perhaps Microsoft Access Family Tree Genealogy History Templates Database could come in handy.
