In the meantime, I have been primarily using due to the number of people using it and the varied resources available. My ultimate goal is to get it all into because I believe the LDS Church's commitment to long-time safekeeping can be trusted. MacFamilyTree Review by Stephen Meyers, Rating I had downloaded the demo version early 2015, and there were a lot of positives for this program, except the cost, especially since I already had RootsMagic. My desire is to get it computerized so it isn't in one place, notebooks on my desk, but can be accessed by many. Over the past nine months, my mother has slowly trusted me with the family genealogy. It's a big job to convert sources to hand-written, but that seems to be the best solution. Randy, I know you've demonstrated that a hand-written source or citation will GEDCOM between programs without any loss of info. If I can get used to it, I will pursue it. The RM reports are superior, as well as the source & citation area. I have purchased RM in order to to a do-over but find it to be cumbersome in the way one enters sources and you can't see the list of sources used in one glance. However, their source & citation templates are lousy definitely not up to EE standards. I like the input interface and the fact you can 'see everything' in one place. I adamantly disagree and speculate that although casual genealogists are likely to use online versions, serious genealogists are probably more likely to utilize desktop programs. I have seen articles that say that desktop programs are dead. Online is probably the quickest and easiest way to get new people to join up and hence increase revenues.

I agree with others that have mentioned that desktop software offers much greater control and power over online versions, however companies seem to be pushing and investing more in online. I am very hopeful that Ancestry will invest more into programming for the FTM desktop programs. I started a blog to help others with problems that wasn't able to find solutions to (link below).

I switched from PAF to Family Tree Maker (FTM) for Mac about 4 years ago when PAF fizzled out.įTM has had quite a few growing pains but the last few updates seem to have stabalized the program - there are still problems however. Email newsletter from the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) asked the question last week, and this week they have tabulated the responses from 4,530 society members. I am often asked by society colleagues, and email correspondents, 'what family tree program do you use?' My response is usually 'I use RootsMagic to manage my genealogy research, but I have and use Family Tree Maker and Legacy Family Tree for certain features (e.g., charts, reports, statistics), and I use online trees at, MyHeritage,, FamilySearch Family Tree, WikiTree, WeRelate and FindMyPast to be a cloud backup, to find research leads, and to provide cousin bait.' I have often wondered which software programs and online trees are the most 'popular' or most used.
