Net Agents Trace Your Roots Was cousin Virgil really run out of the county for stealing hogs? Or are you the descendant of a noble lord, as has been rumored in the family for years? Riding the wave of popular genealogy, Broderbund Software's Family Tree Maker now puts Internet "agents" to work for you to complete your family's history. It also allows you to publish that history on the Internet and share those ancestral high and low points with others. A Broderbund spokesman says the program's "agents" help dig up your family information, whether it is contained in an online vital records database compiled by a genealogy society, a home page focused on a specific family and its heritage or CD-ROM databases with government and historical records. The agents scour the Net for new genealogy information and sites to complement data on more than 153 million people currently available through the program's CD collection. A FamilyFinder Report included in the program automatically compares all family names, dates, geographic locations and other details and guides you to appropriate Internet sites, the spokesman says. Searchers can combine their reports, trees and stories into a spell-checked family book that can be published on your home printer or on the Internet itself. Cost information is available at the Web site.
