Just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you probably shouldn't judge a book by its index. But that is exactly the way many people judge the
publications they use. Not because they are beset by bigotry, but because they need to spend their time in the most efficient fashion. And let's face it, a book without an index is often a pain to use.
So if you want your book to be read, and used, your best bet is an excellent index. There are a variety of programs you can use to compile an
index, but Staub & Associates' GenIndex has been specifically designed with family historians in mind. Its compact form and easy-to-learn features make
it easy to input surnames, given names, page numbers, titles, and other elements of a good index, with the ability to print the index directly; or,
to export the data to another database or spreadsheet program by providing files in common word processor, database, spreadsheet, or symbol-delimited formats.
If you have been looking for a good special-use indexing program, the quick learning curve and reasonable price of GenIndex may make it perfect for your own software library.
