How to Email a Genealogy Report Using Family Tree Maker
Family Tree Maker software helps you organize your genealogy data. One of the joys of genealogical research is sharing the information you find with your family. The easiest way to share information with both close family members and newly found cousins is through email. You can email genealogy reports in Adobe PDF format and be confident that your relative will be able to read the report no matter what computer system she uses. The most commonly shared genealogy report is called a register report. A register report contains information about one family line, beginning with one person and listing information about all of his descendants.
