Passage Express Software
Gather and Organize all Your Genealogy Research, Digital Documents and Pictures into a Multimedia CD-ROM or DVD
I first discovered Passage Express about
5 years ago. I've used it to do many things. I've used it mostly to organize and create a family multimedia CD each year.
The things that I put on there are journal entries, best family photos from the past year, scans of
children's art work etc. But I think you'll soon see that Passage Express can be used for a myriad of
events.
If you download a copy of Passage Express, I think you'll see what I mean.
Here's What It Does...
Passage Express' state-of-the-art features and tools enable you to do the following and more:
