Palm Tree
Palm has been designed as a complementary research tool to your main and nodoubt, fully featured family history program. You can store the main base data from your genealogy records and for some historians, this may be all that they require You might be wondering why you might find a use for such a tool ? After all, it fits in your shirt pocket, so under what circumstances could such a compact device be of value ? If you are travelling, you can take your family tree with you. You can have it with you ALL the time, in your pocket or in your handbag. You might find it really useful totake along on your next field trip to your ancestor's hometown, or to your local family history society, so that you can have access to your base data. Instead of carrying that bag of loose papers and books, pens and pencils, just pocket your Palm V next time you go the archives office. It might even be useful if you are just wandering around a family churchyard, to take notes on some interesting gravestones. If you are browsing at the library or working through a lot of books, files, fiche, films, CDs or archives, having the Palm Pilot loaded with your family tree or data base of prime records can be very handy. You can quickly test your findings against the database right there and then.
