RootsMagic lets you carry your genealogy on your Android device! This viewer is designed as a companion product to RootsMagic, the award-winning desktop genealogy software which makes researching, organizing, and sharing your family history easy. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional, RootsMagic is the perfect tool for you! I purchased RootsMagic, ver. 4 in August of 2009. I had used another genealogy program for 20+ years, and while I was very happy with its ease of use and capabilities this program could not present citations in the style recommended by Elizabeth Shown Mills in 'Evidence Explained.'

• At RootsMagic, we create a variety of easy-to-use software products to help you unite past, present, and future generations.
• RootsMagic genealogy software can synchronize with Ancestry® to transfer people, events, notes, source citations, and photos between trees. Using RootsMagic, you can collaborate with others by inviting family members to access your family tree.
• RootsMagic 7 is just one of many genealogy programs competing with industry leader Ancestry. Unlike many genealogy programs, RootsMagic ($29.95) is Mac-compatible. It's easy to use, but on its own.

RootsMagic Review by Rosie B, Jun 27, 2018

I found the Roots Magic 7 program very unintuitive and the manual was not the least bit helpful. I have been using genealogy programs for 30 years and am very disappointed in this program. I was hoping to be able to do backups of my Ancestry data but when I did the download, I got a lot of bad data. Lots of blank records and missing data especially gender.

Then I tried to do a GEDCOM of part of my data and that was a disaster. I’m going back to Ancestral Quest and Family Tree Maker for getting the Ancestry data onto my computer.

Backups are another program. I specified a place to put the file but the program never put it there. I had to browse for the file each time.

There was also a problem locating the media that should have been linked to a person. The file is on my computer but the images didn’t appear.

Rootsmagic 8 Release Date

Another issue was the tediousness of having to accept each non-identical fact when you can’t see the family page to know which fact is the one you want.
