  • Personal Historian Software
    Personal Historian is software which assists you in writing personal histories, memoirs, and biographies about yourself, your family, and other individuals. It breaks this seemingly monumental task into small, manageable pieces and then reconstructs it into a complete, publishable document. It is not a way to store your family tree, but rather software that helps write your family history.
