PrfMagnet is a family history program that accesses the internet. Using PrfMagnet, the beginning researcher can easily add new lines to a family history. The experienced researcher can survey existing work quickly.

Background

For the past several years, personal genealogies submitted by people around the world have been added to the Pedigree Resource File at FamilySearch.com, the genealogy web site of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Pedigree Resource File search page provides a fill-in-the-blanks search that allows researchers to get a list of possible matching individuals. Clicking on an individual in the list displays details for that individual.

Problem
  • Pedigree Resource File online provides no pedigree chart perspective; only displays individual records.
  • Pedigree Resource File online provides no way to find siblings in a family.
  • Pedigree Resource File online provides no way to create GEDCOM files for pedigrees and families.

Solution
  • PrfMagnet retrieves and displays pedigree charts using data from the Pedigree Resource File.
  • PrfMagnet retrieves and displays families showing all the children.
  • PrfMagnet exports GEDCOM files.

PrfMagnet runs on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
