While we were expected to do the research ourselves, the program provided a simple bracket system for mapping out our family's history. Its simple family tree display and easily entered info meant we never needed to consult the program's instructional Help file. The program's interface had us hooked from the get-go. With simple directions and an excellent layout, family roots can be monitored from their earliest origins. Although I am gradually growing to like it, I can't help but keep saying Even though it's not as good as the old version of "Family Tree Maker" (before the 14th version), it's better than others on the market currently.RootsMagic provides a set of tools for designing a family tree. With the RM-I had to spend several days on it Before I found a way to connect both records without showing two sets of identical children, I would have had to connect 7 records. Sometimes when I was on a wife's record I could go to a father record but not find the same children even though I had entered them on the wife's record. My belief is that if it works for one, either the husband or wife, it should extend to the other as well. If you are working with only one family head (either husband or wife), you need to check different screens to see if you can add children or spouses after you have selected one. It has also been difficult for me to associate members of the same families (e. Although some of the printed reports are not designed well, I have a few problems with them. The genealogy files I maintain are in RootsMagic 7.

There is no way that I can speak to the accuracy of the GEDCOM import since it is entirely too frustrating for me to enter basic information, let alone verify a bulk import. Truth be told, I can't rely on knowing where I am in this program long enough for my research to be of value.
You can click things sometimes and they will work as you expect them to, but not all the time - Reusing names for three generations is so tedious that it makes it hard to get used to a new program and to rely on it for data input. But for paid software, it wouldn't make sense for it to work like something out of the 90's. If their names are listed in the index on the side, then by all means you could click them. In other words, if you stand all the way to the left and want to see the person directly ahead, you need to click a tiny red arrow. There is no point in concentrating the pedigree on people that you just clicked with. In this pedigree, there is only one descendant and the lineage goes only horizontally. The cons are My experience with this software is that it is in no way as user friendly as other products. The feature by itself is enough to earn them a star. There is even a toggle that allows you to specify at what point you want to receive alerts for age discrepancies (14 year old mother, 132 year old still alive, etc.
The program has an impressive array of customizable features, including background options, websites to display hints from, and references to display. You'll find plenty of tutorials to walk you through the process. The pros are The software does a reasonable job of importing a GEDCOM.
