Looking for insight: advantages of GenSmarts

I,m curious as to what advantages GenSmarts has to offer. Does it go beyond the information that Ancestry gives in 2008 search. Thanks in advance for any insight.

GenSmarts' Customize Records

JasonPresley1 — 20 Aug 2007 6:43:29 GMT

Has anyone had any luck with the customize records feature? I've worked out a web script for searching the Texas Death Certificate records at Footnote.com and plan to do more Footnote searches.

I only wish the custom searches could be incorporated into the main body of the program instead of stuck off in the Customize Records section. Maybe in a future version...

Gensmarts Question

Hi all,
Bought this software and am playing around with it. Kind of "clunky" like all Genealogy software seems to be (someday they'll put someone besides a software engineer in charge of these products to direct the software writing types and we'll get something user friendly:) but I think I will like it as I get more familiar with it.
But.....big thing I was looking for help with was to direct me to people in my tree that I have not yet added any documentation info for -- it seems to focus on people I am missing dates and events for mostly. I'd love for it to be able to say to me "hey john Billybob Lunkhead that you have complete birth, death and marriage dates for has no evidence for any of this- start here with his birth date and tell me you did not come up with this from One World Tree?" type thing in a lot less words of course:) Is there a way to have this program focus on missing evidence as opposed to dates and events?
Help appreicated if anyone has tamed this beast yet.\
Best regards,
John R. Fisher

GenSmarts?

I recently purchased the GenSmarts program but I'm a bit confused to what it actually does. When I try and get it to look through ancestry.com since I have an account, it keeps taking me to free websites.

I'm also not finding it that useful in finding documents. Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?
