• • • • Mac users now have their own version of the popular free software offered by MyHeritage.com. Says Daniel Horowitz at MyHeritage.com, “It’s free to download, easy to use and includes all of the main features of the windows version!” “There have been frequent requests by our users to run Family Tree Builder 7.0 on the Mac operating system,” states a recent MyHeritage press release. “Many of our users have switched in recent years from Windows to Mac and wanted to continue using Family Tree Builder.” Here’s some additional information from MyHeritage: • The current version is called Family Tree Builder Mac Extension. It uses a system for porting Windows software to Mac called CrossOver by CodeWeavers. Once installed, the software will run directly on Mac computers (does not require Windows or any additional setup or configuration). The minimum OS version supported is OS X.

• Family Tree Builder’s main features run the same in Family Tree Builder Mac Extension, including Sync with MyHeritage, Smart Matches™, Record Matches, the consistency checker, charts, etc. Major features work the same as on Windows, and the file formats are the same so you can transport Family Tree Builder projects between Windows and Mac. • Several minor features aren’t yet available: maps, formatting in notes (e.g. Bold, italics, etc.), book reports (though they can be created online), and display of right-to-left languages. Everything else works the same as on Windows. • MyHeritage is “in the advanced stages of developing a native Mac version of the software, with the look and feel that Mac users will appreciate.” You can download the software. Do you keep your master family tree on a website somewhere or on your computer?

I’ve owned most of the popular Mac genealogy programs and am blown away.

When I tell people I don’t recommend Family Tree Maker for Mac 2, they often ask what I do recommend, which is understandable. But I really can’t recommend a genealogy program for other people without knowing what their requirements are. You must first decide what your priorities are. Then you can check on the web to see which programs meet your requirements. You can use Ben’s or to find the features you need (but take the Smart Ratings on the latter with a grain of salt). Lists lots of genealogy programs, although not all of them have reviews. But see Tamura Jones’ article,.

I still like and use it for some tasks like searching in my tree because it’s easier and more powerful than FTMM. However, Reunion is pricey—$99, and it’s getting a bit dated. It doesn’t integrate with any of the online databases like Ancestry or FamilySearch.

At least it has a demo version, albeit very limited, so you can try it out and see if it has the features you need. I also like, which is free and Open Source, which means it’s developed by users. It imported a 33,000-record GEDCOM from FTMM2 without losing any data, despite FTMM’s failure to adhere to the GEDCOM standard. But since it was built to run on Linux, its interface is not Mac-like.

It also includes many nice features that are not supported by GEDCOM. At least Gramps tells you. If you try out something else, I recommend importing a small subset of your data to see how well it imports. Use records that are representative of your tree, but also use records that represent unusual cases, like having lots of spouses, adoptions, alternate names, alternate events, Evidence Explained source templates, or anything else that’s important to you. Unfortunately, the GEDCOM file standard isn’t followed very well by many programs, and they will either ignore some of your GEDCOM file that FTMM produces or they will mishandle it. But any decent program will produce a report telling you what problems it found in the GEDCOM.
