Hi Derek
Maybe some of the genealogy software can do this, I don't know. Are you currently using anything like Family Tree Maker or similar?

Otherwise, it can be done in Director using Lingo, but if you don't know Director that may be a bit in at the deep end with programming languages!

I found this for a work-around in Powerpoint:

Or it seems you can buy a plug-in for Powerpoint (transitions IV) which includes "turning page of book" which seems to be what you are looking for.

scroll down the page to see the transition in action.

..and some "movie" software has "page turn" transitions but I don't know how you would combine that with the text you have in mind...

But there is maybe an easier solution that someone else knows!

Best wishes
