![]() MacFamilyTree 8 features a completely overhauled user interface, including Smart Filters, a change log, and a Navigation Timeline. Synium released MacFamilyTree 8 for Mac OS X, together with MobileFamilyTree 8. I expect Family Tree Builder 9 to realise more of the potential improvements, and perform considerably better than FTB 8 and 7. Most likely because while MyHeritage did change to using a database engine, they hardly adapted the rest of Family Tree Builder to this important change yet. Users enjoy slight faster GEDCOM import and dramatically improved project load times.įamily Tree Builder 8 is also faster and more memory-efficient than Family Tree Builder 7, but the difference isn't as big as it could be.įamily Tree Builder 8 uses SQLite, the same database engine that RootsMagic uses, yet still demands way more memory than RootsMagic does, and does not come close to RootsMagic's capacity to handle large databases.įamily Tree Builder 8 should offer considerably better capacity than Family Tree Builder 7, yet still has the same fan value as Family Tree Builder 7, While the design of previous versions was fundamentally flawed, Family Tree Builder 8 is a solid foundation for future versions. MyHeritage introduced Family Tree Builder 8.įamily Tree Builder 8 looks the same as Family Tree Builder 7, but it is a full rewrite that finally uses a database engine for its file format. honourable mention: Family Tree Builder 8 While the user interface continues to look dated, the program's pedigree view now allows viewing up to seven generations, in support of large monitors. There are enhancements to the Family View Child List, Merge Tool and more. Its main new feature is TreeTips, which finds matching records on MyHeritage, findmypast and FamilySearch. Incline Software released Ancestral Quest 15. RootsMagic did right in 2016, and remains the genealogy application to beat. RootsMagic now supports direct import from any version of Family Tree Maker, while even Family Tree Maker itself does not. RootsMagic already supported direct import from Family Tree Maker Classic, RootsMagic 7.1 added direct import from New Family Tree Maker, but only New Family Tree maker,Īnd RootsMagic 7.1.0.5 added direct import from Software MacKiev Family Tree Maker 2014. RootsMagic delivered the promised direct import from Family Tree Maker. ![]() RootsMagic WebHints already supported matching against MyHeritage and FamilySearch databases, and RootsMagic 7.2 added support for findmypast record collections. The search of collections is delayed too, but RootsMagic did add support for findmypast to WebHints, RootsMagic pre-announced three new features in February, to wit syncing with Ancestry Member Trees, searching collections and direct import from New Family Tree Maker. The bad news is that the feature is delayed, the good news is that they're still refusing to rush out a half-baked product just to meet a deadline. This was RootsMagic pre-announcing a new feature and delivery date,Īnd early December, Bruce Buzbee, posted a mea culpa on the RootsMagic blog. In February, and RootsMagic announced that RootsMagic would sync with Ancestry Member Trees by the end of the year. However, it's is a Good Thing that they're delaying release until its done, instead of rushing it out. Renaming MacBridge for RootsMagic to RootsMagic for Mac isn't fooling anyone, it just creates confusion. RootsMagic continues to disappoint users waiting for the Mac OS X release Best Genealogy Product of 2016: RootsMagic 7.1 Here, without further ado, are the eleventh GeneAwards.
