Additional Description

General

The compact discs (cd) in this box contain genealogical information derived from otherwise public sources, such as U.S. census data, and are presented in a proprietary software "Family Tree Maker" format dating from circa 2000. The discs are open for research but the needed software for viewing is not part of the archive. No attempt to preserve the content of these discs has been made by the archive, due to the availability of the data in other public formats and the restrictive issue of the proprietary software.
