Reviews:
'This is a great introduction for new users! Terry explains complicated topics
in terms a beginner can understand, and he explains the concepts as well as the
specific steps to make fast, effective use of TMG. Even experienced users will
learn from this book, particularly in the chapters about more advanced topics.
Terry’s TMG Tips website is a great resource for TMG users, and now Terry has
expanded that with A Primer for The Master Genealogist.' - John Cardinal, author
of Second Site, TMG Utility, and other companion programs for TMG
'A Primer for The Master Genealogist is a 'must have' for the new user. With
its easy to read format and multiple illustrations even those seemingly complex
features and tasks are easy to understand. I wish I'd had a copy of this book
when I first started using The Master Genealogist'. - Mark A. Cunningham, TMG user for two months
'Without reading the entire book, I was able to perform not only routine
tasks but also use features that were 'fun', such as changing colors of entries.
I also became aware of functions that I would never have learned about on my
own.' - Judy Madnick, new user
