<a href="http://www.cemyfamily.com/">http://www.cemyfamily.com/</a><br /><br />OneMan Software has some new geneology software that helps you track your family history on your Pocket PC.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/cemyfamily.jpg" /><br /><br />"CE My Family consists of both a Desktop and a Pocket PC component, which allows you to make a significant part of your current genealogy work available for referencing and editing - with the portability of the Pocket PC! On the Desktop, CE My Family imports and translates GEDCOM data files exported from your primary genealogy program. On the Pocket PC, CE My Family allows you to view information by individual or family group. View or edit individual or marriage information, or add individuals related to those currently in your file. Both individual and event-based notes are available for both viewing and editing."<br /><br />There's a free demo available, and the full license costs $20.00.<br /><br /><b>BONUS:</b> Bob, the software's developer, would like to give away a free license of CE My Family to three lucky Thoughts readers. But, because of the specialized nature of the application, we'd like to make sure that only people who really WANT it try to win it. So, let's do it this way...<br /><br />If you think you can really use this software, go ahead and download the demo version using the link above. Then, post a reply to this thread with the software registration "seed," which can be found on the registration screen. We'll randomly select the three winners from all the responses received by 1am MST Saturday, February 15.

Been looking for a piece of genology software that would sync with the desktop. Will definitely give this a try. The desktop install/pocketpc install is pretty slick, I really like the way the desktop polls the pocketpc device for add info. and install.

Terrible! I am on the road and left my sync cable at home, so I can't post a registration seed! I am an avid genealogist and would love a chance to win this software....


I'll download it when I get home Monday and give it a go at any rate.

I normally carry the laptop around when I am doing research. It will be nice to use the Pocket PC instead.
The program looks good. I'll be trying out my family file on it. I have my family traced back to the 13th century on my father's side, we'll see how it fits!

Put my name in the hat for the contest. Seed #2788900

Thanks, Wes

It pays to read the fine print sometimes. I didn't realize the
contest doesn't end until the 15th. For some strange reason
I thought it was 1am this evening. I guess I shouldn't have
rushed, :(

Excellent contest :) , I've been working on my family for a number of years now and now I can carry the info when I visit them in Calgary. (not everyone has a computer).

Nice manual, btw, far to often, these CE apps come with a two paragraph manual. With your screenshots, etc, I quickly got an answer for one of the questions I had.

Even if I don't win (I HOPE I DO), great work on the software.

Seed: 6380676

:arrow: If anyone has any information on the parents of a Benjamin Litchfield, from Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, born in 1720/1727 I would love to hear from you.

CE My Family

The folk at CE My Family helped fix my problem - I had done a hard reset recently and not updated my name info! Now works like a dream ;-)

My seed is: 2502724

Now I can really bore the family with my "so who was Roger's sisters brothers mothers second husbands daughter" again without carrying a ream of A4 or my laptop?!"

The hoops keep getting bigger and bigger to jump through for free software on this site. :wink:
