Now compatible with Family Tree Maker 2008. Years ago, a new type of genealogy software debuted - one which uses artificial intelligence to make research suggestions. GenSmarts works alongside existing genealogy software to explain records that should be researched and why. Today's GenSmarts Version 2 release represents a new level of usability and power for genealogy hobbyists seeking research assistance.

The basic features of GenSmarts are very easy to use - simply click on a suggestion, read the analysis on the idea that GenSmarts presents to you, and, if the suggestion is available online, simply click to have GenSmarts perform the record lookup for you.

This software locates holes in your data and creates a digital "To Do" list (with links to available online research sites) to point you toward new research possibilities and sources. GenSmarts maintains an up-to-date internal listing of places, both on- and off-line, where you can conduct further research, including a description of the records available at each source. View or print your “To Do” list along with helpful background information. For census searches, this software even provides you with alternative name spellings and Soundex codes, and calculates your ancestor’s age at the date of the census.

Reviews

• "...GenSmarts is the best genealogy add-on software available on the market today. It’s a super program that is easy to use, comprehensive in its scope, and one that provides often-needed focus to genealogical research priorities..." - Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter
• "...after 20 years in the business of genealogy, I think I’ve come across the program we’ve all been waiting for...we always wondered when someone would produce a program that would check our database and tell us where to look for additional data. Well, the time has come...I’m so excited about this program that I may not sleep much tonight!" - Leland Meitzler, Publisher, Heritage Quest Magazine
• "I've been waiting for years for someone to apply artificial intelligence to genealogy—and now, it's finally happened! ...And here's one of the features I love: if a resource is available online, you can simply double click the entry… (GenSmarts) will take you to the site that contains the information, automatically enter the name of interest...and give you the results" - Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak, Ancestry Daily News
• "It's like having your own virtual research assistant...how does GenSmarts stand up to real-life use? Flawlessly....amazingly easy and convenient...in less than five seconds, the program generated my To Do List" - Nancy Hendrickson, Family Tree Magazine

What's unique about GenSmarts? GenSmarts is all about helping you uncover your family history (traditional genealogy software is focused on providing you tools to document what you discover). When you use GenSmarts, you do very little typing - you're reviewing GenSmarts suggestions and a simple mouse click will engage GenSmarts to perform lookups for you and present results. GenSmarts doesn't replace your traditional genealogy software (e.g. PAF, Family Tree Maker, etc.), but works alongside it by reading and analyzing the data you've already collected.

What does GenSmarts do? GenSmarts develops a profile of your ancestors based on where and when they lived. This profile is then matched with GenSmarts inventory of known records to make predictions about the record trail your ancestors may have left behind. These predictions are then prioritized to highlight data that you're missing. The logic behind each suggestion is fully explained. For suggestions that can be researched online, at your direction, GenSmarts will navigate your internet browser for you, typing in your ancestors name and even pressing the SEARCH button for you!
