Personal Historian is software which assists you in writing personal histories about yourself and other individuals.   Many people want to write a personal history about themselves or a family member but they just become lost or overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the project. That's where Personal Historian comes in.

From Timeline to Written Personal History

Personal Historian takes the seemingly monumental task of writing a personal history about yourself or another individual and breaks it into small, manageable pieces and then reconstructs it into a complete, publishable document.

Simply add a new topic (or event), give it a date and category, and then write about that topic or event.  Personal Historian will add the topic or event to the main timeline screen.  You can filter by topic, category, time range, etc.  At any time you can tell Personal Historian to write a personal history from the topics (events) you have entered.  Your personal history can be sent to the printer, to a rich text file, or to a PDF document.

Personal Historian builds upon the work that you've already done. You can easily import word processor documents, photographs, and other data.  Personal Historian can even bring in events, dates, and notes directly from RootsMagic so that all the important events in your life and the life of your family are automatically there, ready for you to write.

Personal Historian comes with an extensive library of LifeCapsules- timelines, historical events, cultural fads, and memory triggers covering a wide-variety of subjects. LifeCapsules add color and context to your history, giving you insights into what was happening in the world at any point in your history.

From start to finish, Personal Historian is the quickest and easiest way to write your own personal history or that of another individual. You'll be amazed at how easy and entertaining it can be with Personal Historian!
