Many of these reports are not necessarily “standard” ones, but that’s OK, too. Most of you probably have at least one person in your extended families that fulfills that role, and if they are doing their work on the Macintosh, MacFamilyTree could be just the product for them.įirst, the wide range of graphical charts and reports just blow every other genealogy program out of the water.
#MACFAMILYTREE FILE LOCATION PROFESSIONAL#
Most people doing genealogical research on their families are not professional or certified genealogists, but dedicated amateur researchers, trying to find out more about their ancestors so they can share that information with the rest of their family. But my particular needs in this area are a very narrow part of genealogical research–decidedly not in the mainstream. I say all this because MacFamilyTree is not capable of publishing genealogical data in book form, using one of two specific narrative formats most often used in genealogy publishing: New England Historic Genealogical Register or National Genealogical Society Register formats. It was an exhausting job–one that I am ready to start on again, only this time the book could hit 2,000 pages! When I edited and published the 750 page Grinnell family genealogy back in 1997, I used a combination of genealogy database programs and book publishing utilities.
Since then, I’ve used Reunion from Leister Productions, and a whole slew of Windows-based products, including Brother’s Keeper, The Master Genealogist, and Legacy Family Tree, among others. I cut my teeth on the LDS church’s Personal Ancestral File, back in the day when they still published a Mac-compatible version. I’ve been involved in genealogy work for years.
