Personal Historian Software

l loaded the software, but i was looking for a journal, and some kind of timeline, like when i could pinpoint where i lived, and when. i found it lacking, sorry.

This review is based on assessment of the evaluation version of the software. I love the idea of the program. It provides a platform in which to record a personal journal and life time-line, and to place it in the context of world events. The package seems easy to use and has time capsule import options that enable you to import events in (e.g.) US or British history and display them alongside your own entries. There is also a genealogy import option (which I havent tested). So far so good.

Its just what I was looking for. so much great information that every genealogist needs in their library.

This lets me organize the info I put together,it is stored in one place.

The software is good for logging your topics or thoughts until you have time to elaborate. But it seems to be a very simple software and Im not sure the price tag is worth it.

I like this software, but one has to be careful with it. When I tried to fix a problem--I eventually solved the problem--I accidentally lost some content. Fortunately, there is a way to get that content back--Use backup--and I was able to recover all of it.

I am a quadriplegic who needed something more than a diary or journal. I felt a need to be autobiographical - - like, who knows? Maybe Ill write a book! THE PERSONAL HISTORIAN suited my needs just perfectly! THE PERSONAL HISTORIAN is genius in the manner in which it prompts memories from 25, 30, years ago with culturally relevant events. It also has a much more than adequate diary capability (for all that daily kvetching!).

Used it many years ago nice update.

Bought this for my 81 year old husband. It jogs his memory to write down for his family the exciting life he has led.It is easy to huge and recommend it to anyone who wants to journal their life or a family member

This program has some nice features for organizing ones personal history and story. The lists of events, music and other important happenings by date is extremely useful for establishing the time period when a personal life event took place. The program is worth the price for helping you to organize your thoughts when you write your personal memoir.
