Where political5 power is hereditary, people are interested in know-8 ing who is the heir to the throne. In many societies, 5 propery is inherited through descent in either the 5 make or female line, or both. But in some societies5 genealogy has been the concern of everybody. We are4 what we are because of our ancestors. The science 4 of genetics has helped us to discover much of the 2 early history of the human race. More recently, 6 people have discovered that modern history is often 1 illuminated by the family relationships of the 6 people involved. There are also òåìéçéïõó motives.0 HOW THIS PROGRAM CAN HELP YOU IN RESEARCH7 Whatever your òåáóïî for wanting to know more about8 your forebears, you may have wondered how to go about 3 it. You probably know who your parents were, but 3 some people don't even know that. You might know 3 your grandparents, who may in turn have told you 4 about their parents and grandparents. Beyond that,6 memory does not go, and for some it doesn't even go 7 that far. How do you go beyond that? The main program1 is designed to help you to find out. This is a 4 short program, so the information is sketchy, but 4 I hope it will be useful. There are references to 7 books you can use for more information, some of which& were used in writing this ðòïçòáí®) THE FAMILY HISTORY HELP SYSTEM3 This program is distributed using the õóåò÷áòå 1 method. In the main data file several genealogy7 programs are mentioned, and these use the óèáòå÷áòå4 method of distribution. Neither of these should be* confused with "public domain" software. 3 What is common to all three is that you may make 1 as many copies as you like of the distribution 6 disk, and you can give them away to anyone you like.4 What you can't do with any of them is sell them at4 a profit. Public domain software has no copyright.4 You can alter it as much as you like. This program' is NOT public domain, but "userware". USERWARE0 Userware is software that you can use without 3 paying for it. The author retains the copyright, 8 which means that it should not be changed without the  author's permission. 4 It may be given away free, or for a small copying 4 fee to cover time, materials, postage and packing.0 Unlike óèáòå÷áòå, there is no obligation to 9 register it if you go on using it. If you do òåçéóôåò5 this program, you will be sent the latest version, * so there are advantages in registering.  - Éîôòïäõãôéïî
! SHAREWARE2 Shareware, unlike "public domain" or õóåò÷áòå,program3 is NOT "free" software. While you may distribute 2 the original program freely to anyone you like, / if you continue using it you are expected to 2 register with the author and pay a registration 3 fee. Some of the genealogy programs described in 2 the main data file are shareware, and so if you 3 try them and like them, and continue to use them,6 you ought to pay the registration fee to the author.3 This program is NOT shareware! You don't HAVE to 6 òåçéóôåò it to go on using it, though it might be  to your advantage to do so.'

The Church of Jesus 4 Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) teaches that5 families are eternal, and so encourages its members0 to research their family history and collects 8 genealogical information (which is also made available4 to people who do not belong to that church - more about that in the main program) - Èï÷ this program can help - Õóåò÷áòå - Óèáòå÷áòå - Òåçéóôòáôéïî' HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM3 There are four options on the main menu.
