There are numerous reports including pedigree charts, lineage

timeline reports, and various lists. A text editor (not included)

Long Description:
Family Scrapbook is a powerful genealogical database system.
It is an useful tool for anyone that wishes to use a
computer for recording family history research.
Features:
* It sports a user friendly interface with help screens. It
is very easy to browse through and edit your data. Has
search lists for names and dates.
* It easily handles awkward family situations such as:
illegitimate births, couples that never married, only one
parent known, annullments, and separations.
* It has GEDCOM import/export abilities so that you can
trade data with other genealogy programs. If you currently
use a genealogy program and it supports GEDCOM, converting
over to FSB is easy!
* It offers specialized screens for entering data like name
changes, christening info, passenger list info, census info,
baptismal info, and immigration info...
* It has a "notes" feature that allows you to use a text
editor to maintain notes on each person and family.
* It has an online 4-generation pedigree chart so that you
can immediately view a person's ancestors. The program can
print charts of 4, 5, 6, and even 7 generations!
* Generates Tiny Tafels and soundex codes. Backup and
restore facility. Ability to hotkey to an external program
that you specify (some people use a PCX or GIF file viewer
to view scanned pictures of relatives).
* Numerous reports...too many to mention them all.
Reccomended hardware: IBM or IBM-compatible computer running
DOS version 3.0 or higher, 640k base ram (will use EMS if
available), hard disk (1.5meg needed for a new installation,
400k of free space always needed for temp files).
