“Create complete family trees ”

by Nick Mead about MacFamilyTree

Creating your family tree offers an interesting insight into your past. MacFamilyTree makes it easy to enter and visualize your family history within a tailored OS X style interface.

MacFamilyTree can even be used to create family reports and create contact information via ID cards for your family. The impressive 3D effects it adds to family trees makes navigating it really slick. Most recently, MacFamilyTree has been updated to allow users to search online for your family history, a service which currently is free to use. You can also publish your family trees and history to the web if you have a MobileMe account.

The main drawback of MacFamilyTree however is the fact that it doesn't have the search power and social interaction aspect that something like say Genes Reunited has. It's also prone to lags and crashes when family information files grow quite big according to some users, meaning that you might have problems managing large family trees.

Overall however, MacFamilyTree makes discovering your family tree a slick and easy experience.

Pros
  • Slick OS X interface
  • Easy to build family trees
  • Search for family online feature
  • Publish family trees online
Cons
  • Hasn't got the search or interaction possibilities of similar online services
  • May struggle with large files

    I'd be very careful about choosing this software. The interface is clunky at best, often requiring digging 5+ levels deep just to inter a simple piece of information. There are tons of bugs and... More
