Now includes Genealogy File Viewer


Includes GENViewer Lite (c) 1.10 by Mud Creek Software, Inc.


If you want to include a genealogy file in your CD project, a genealogy viewer will be added to the CD. If the computer running your CD already has genealogy software installed for that type of file, then the program will attempt to open it with the resident software. If the computer does not have genealogy software, then the file will be opened with GenViewer Lite. This eliminates the need for every computer to have genealogy software already installed.

GenViewer Lite can read GEDCOM, PAF 3- 5, TMG 4 (The Master Genealogist), Family Tree Maker, and Legacy 3-5 files.

Burns the Auto-run CD's and DVD's for you



  • No other software is needed.
  • Burn slideshow discs with your regular CD burner that will play in a DVD player!
  • Burn real DVD's with menus that play slideshow movies
  • Create disc labels that match your presentation menu




Fast and Easy to Use



If you already have your documents, pictures,

or other files ready to go, you can have a CD

in your hands to send to a friend in only a

matter of a few hours. (Depending on your

project, sometimes much less!)
