She coined the name FAMware.

He wrote the software.

FAMware (i.e. FAMily software) has been doing business part time since 1981. We started in St. Louis, Missouri, with PCDOS 1.0, and wrote the very first genealogy software package for the IBM PC. Our mission from the beginning has been to benefit our country and mankind by providing family oriented software products. We moved to Utah in 1982 and have released dozens of software products over the past 43 years. We are a time tested and "trusted" software provider. Our "legacy" products were targeted for the Windows platforms, for PC desktops, laptops, tablets, and notebooks, written in C++, C#, and Visual Basic. This platform is still in effect today and is found in millions of software products worldwide, in business, education, family and personal software. Our More Recent Products are developed for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) to run on Windows 10 or 11. UWP applications have a little bit more modern look and feel (e.g., "Ok" buttons today say "Got It" :) but functionality isn't much different. In many ways, our legacy products are far more powerful than UWP. You decide.

Since FAMware products are for the "benefit of mankind" we nor longer sell products to make money. We now provide our software products free of charge. Our focus is to help both individuals and families with basic principles and concepts built into tools that make life better.
