I subscribe to the GenSmarts newsletter, which is issued sporadically by the creators, Underwood Continuum, LLC. The newsletter can be subscribed to by emailing join-gensmartsnews@list.gensmartsnews.com.
The newsletter noted that:
"This past week, we released new free updates to both Version 1 and Version 2. The latest releases are 1.1.1.63 for Version 1 and 2.1.1.63 for Version 2. During the past several months, we've made the following major changes, which were included in this update:
1) Added support for FTM 2008 & FTM 2009 (GS Version 2 only)
2) Added support for RootsMagic 4 (GS Version 2 only)
3) Added support for the 1911 census
4) Added many more Ancestry.com suggestions
5) Added support for the Mid-Continent Public library

7) The usual assortment of minor bugs and tweaks
As usual, you can use http://www.GenSmarts.com/versionHistory.html to update if GenSmarts itself doesn't notify you at start up of the update."
What is GenSmarts? Check out the FAQ here. If you want a genealogy program that creates a list of possible genealogy databases from many genealogy web sites, you might consider GenSmarts.com You can buy it at http://www.gensmarts.com/buy.html. You may be able to obtain it through a genealogy software program purchase - I got my version 1 originally bundled with Family Tree Maker 2005 (I think).
When I clicked on my GenSmarts 1 icon on my desktop, my software was updated with Version 1.1.1.68, not Version 63 for some reason. I'm not complaining. I had a good time browsing through the program again, and will do some evaluation of the program in later posts.
