Encore, a majority-owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation (Nasdaq: NAVR), and MyFamily.com, Inc., a leading network for connecting families, today announced the release of Family Tree Maker 2005, the latest edition of the number one selling family history software for over a decade, to retail stores in North America.

Family Tree Maker 2005, the newest edition of the popular award-winning software program, has been completely redesigned with many innovative features that will appeal to the beginner and the expert alike.  The product provides users with the tools they need to search for information about their ancestors, document their findings, and create beautiful heirloom-quality family trees, charts, reports and books.

"Family Tree Maker 2005 is a comprehensive software program that allows users to easily discover more about who they are and where they come from," said Tom Stockham, president and CEO of MyFamily.com.  "Family Tree Maker 2005 provides beginners and experts alike with a host of new capabilities, as well as enhancements to many of the easy-to-use features that have made Family Tree Maker the most trusted genealogy program."

"My Family is the leader in family history information and we are very pleased to be working with them on the release of Family Tree Maker 2005," said Michael Bell, CEO of Encore.  "Family Tree Maker has been the #1 selling family history software for over a decade for good reason.  The new 2005 release enhances this brand's great reputation by delivering a revolutionary user experience."

New Features in Family Tree Maker 2005
* Automatic Web Search Tool -- For the first time ever, Family Tree Maker seamlessly integrates with Ancestry.com, the largest collection of family history records online. Family Tree Maker searches this vast collection of genealogical records for more information on the people in your family tree while you work, and ranks the results to help you identify the individuals who are most likely to be your ancestors. Once results matching your criteria are found, the web search button changes to alert you that web search results are available.

* Web Merge Wizard -- Takes the guesswork out of merging and appending data from the web and makes it a snap to incorporate any new genealogy information you find online -- including source information -- into your Family Tree Maker file.

* Pedigree View -- Allows you to quickly and easily navigate through your family tree, view between three and seven generations at once, and identify areas that require further research. Or use the side panel to jump to the pedigree trees of anyone in your file.

* Web Search Report -- Enables you to compare results found on Ancestry.com with the information you already have for the people in your family tree -- side by side, right in your file. This tool can also be used to mark the results you feel are most relevant, and then filter the results based on quality, type of record or how you've marked them.

* Bookmarks -- Makes it simple to identify and tag the individuals you access most frequently.

* History -- Automatically tracks the last 30 individuals you've edited, enabling you to view and jump to recently changed people.
