MacFamilyTree 5

I havent used a family tree software for some time and this takes a little getting used to. I was able to import a previous gedcom file with no difficulties. Adding new family members is not difficult once you are into the swing of things. The only downside after 3 weeks is that I have not been able to load the software onto my computer and so must insert the cd everytime - not a disaster.

It is a good program and easy to use and more important it links in with Ancestry on the net

I wish i had read the negative reviews before i wasted my money on this. Hopeless is the only word i can think of for this excuse for a programme, the virtual tree thing is just a gimmicky joke, as for the rest, words fail me !!!! I have taken the unprecedented step of uninstalling it and junking it, 40 quid down the drain, you live and learn.....avoid.

Just received this in the mail. Havent tried it yet. Frustrated that my brand new software is version 5.4.2 when the brand new version (6.0.4) can be purchased online for $49. Apparently I can get a free upgrade by sending documentation to their support department showing when I purchased version 5. Ive sent off the Amazon shipping notice, well see what their response is. You can also buy the upgrade for $25. It looks like the upgrade has a lot of new things so for now Im not going to start with the old and have to either reenter or relearn.

Could not use it. bought family Tree Maker for Mac v3, so much better and easier to use

I now have upgraded over the net to version 5.6.8 at no charge. They still have a few minor details to iron out but overall a good product. Once I learn the ins and outs Ill feel more comfortable using it. Support via e-mail is a little slow sometimes,but they do respond.

The best family history for macs Its easy to get gadcoms down and sorts out your family decendents, it will work out who your ancesters are to you like which person is your greeat great grandparents are or 2nd 3rd cousins etc, even family from branch members of your family, but you have to put the details in first. A must have for any one doing their family history on an Apple Mac. One good thing is once you have bought on you need never get another as all upgrades are downloded free

I am loving this program! It takes a little bit to get the hang of using it. (Of course, it would also help if I read the booklet for assistance.) I cant wait to use all of the aspects of this program. There are so many possibilities for recording family history.

A good read.

didnt realise it only works on mac systems. it doesnt state on the detials.... Mac Product Only or Doesnt work on Windows.
