TAPPERWARE RELEASES UPDATED VERSION OF ITS GENEALOGY APPLICATION FOR PALM OS®

New Version of My Roots Contains Numerous Enhancements That Make it More Powerful and Easier to Use.

ATLANTA, GA - May 19, 2003 - Tapperware, a developer of shareware applications for Palm OS® handheld computers, today announced the release of version 3 of its My Roots application. My Roots allows genealogy enthusiasts to have their family tree data with them at all times. It works in conjunction with all the popular desktop genealogy applications for computers running Microsoft Windows® or Mac OS®.

The new version features a much quicker and simpler way for the user to import data from a GED file, the standard file format for genealogy data. A time saving shortcut allows Microsoft Windows® users to import data by simply right-clicking on a GED file. Version 3 supports additional GED tags, greatly expanding the information available to the user. A Family Group Sheet view has been added, which makes it easier to see family relationships and to move up and down through the generations of the family tree.

"My Roots Version 3 makes it easier than ever to have detailed genealogy data at your fingertips," said Thomas Ward, President of Tapperware. "It is a major step in Tapperware's plans to continue to add features that will provide the greatest benefit to our customers."

Genealogy Community Supports My Roots

"After working with the new
version of My Roots for about 4 weeks, I am very satisfied that the improvements will be an asset to the users," said Chris Hansen, of the Orange County California Genealogical Society. "I particularly like the much faster and simpler Import method. I will recommend the new version to the attendees of my Computer-Assisted Genealogy Classes."

"I already rely on My Roots to give me instant access to my family data on research trips as well as with spur-of-the-moment queries," said Laura Prescott, Educational Services Coordinator at the New England Historic Genealogical Society. "With the addition of the family group sheet option and the pushbuttons for events, facts, and sibling information, I can now leave my laptop at home."

My Roots Provides Instant Access to Genealogy Data

Genealogists make frequent
research trips to libraries, courthouses, and cemeteries, and also gather data at family reunions. On these occasions, a small handheld computer that fits in a purse or shirt pocket is much more convenient than a stack of 3-ring binders or even a laptop computer. My Roots allows the user to copy data from his favorite desktop genealogy application onto his handheld computer. This data can then be viewed and modified, and newly acquired data can be entered right on the
handheld. Updated data can then be written to a GED file for incorporation back into the desktop application. My Roots provides many useful tools for viewing your data, including ancestor and descendant trees, sorting, filtering, and
searching capabilities, and a Soundex calculator.

My Roots version 3.0 is available today, in both English and German versions, for $19.95. Existing users who purchased My Roots after December 1, 2002 can upgrade free of charge. Other existing users can upgrade for only $6.95. Tapperware also provides a free, downloadable trial version of My Roots.
