SPRINGVILLE, Utah, May 24, 2004 - RootsMagic, Inc., a leader in family history software, today announced the release of its award winning family tree software RootsMagic 2.0.

Beautiful wall charts are now a breeze with RootsMagic Chart, the new charting program included in RootsMagic 2.0.

Publishing a family history is now easier than ever with the RootsMagic Publisher. The Publisher combines multiple reports and charts into a single book and automatically creates a table of contents and full index for the book.
