GenMerge
"GenMerge is the fast, easy, safe way to find and merge duplicates in your family data. Whether you are working on a project with your sister or evaluating family trees from the internet, GenMerge is an important addition to your genealogy tool box.
"GenMerge is a stand-alone utility that uses GEDCOM files, so it can be used with any desktop genealogy software. Using a simple “point and click” user interface apply the advanced statistical record linking features of GenMerge to quickly find duplication in a single family tree or when merging two or more trees.
"Use GenMerge to quickly and easily analyze new data to see if it is good quality and how it overlaps with your family data. In minutes you will know exactly what people are the same between two files and which new people you will be adding if you decide to incorporate the new family data in your tree. Significant family differences, such as a different father or mother for a matching individual are listed in a special report so you can zero in on these research differences quickly.
"GenMerge provides a detailed analysis of each input file with birth year, death year, surname and other statistics. GenMerge also produces a detailed report of the merging process and a consistent, error-free result which can be used with your desktop genealogy software if you choose."
GenSmarts Version 2
"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.
"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.
