#Rootsmagic familysearch software

Of course I wonder whether tree-syncing will follow.

But I find it so encouraging to see hinting/record searching partnerships with and, too. Is RootsMagic becoming that “holy grail” of family tree softwares: the one that will sync with every major genealogy website platform? So far it’s just and with current or planned syncing.

#Rootsmagic familysearch software

RootsMagic 7 is already known as the software “ easiest to sync with FamilySearch.” For some time, it’s been culling web hints from and it will soon start integrating hints from FindMyPast. RootsMagic even backs up directly to Dropbox and Google Drive, which is also handy for those who want to share their tree files with others. But as someone who regularly works with different genealogy websites, I continue to prefer RootsMagic. According to a RootsMagic press release, this means RootsMagic users will “be able to display Ancestry hints, search for Ancestry records, and share data between RootsMagic file and Ancestry tree, all from within RootsMagic itself.” (This will be an optional function that can be enabled or disabled at will.)ĭedicated Family Tree Maker users may be relieved that their software will continue to be supported. More interesting to me is the news that RootsMagic software and will be connected by the end of 2016. According to, “This new agreement means you will receive software updates and new versions from Software MacKiev, and have the ability to purchase new versions of Family Tree Maker from Software MacKiev as they are released.“ Are we getting closer to the “holy grail” of family history software: one that will sync with all the major genealogy websites?Ī’s unpopular announcement that it would be retiring its Family Tree Maker software was followed by a loud “never mind!” Software MacKiev has acquired Family Tree Maker software for both Mac and Windows and will continue the software’s production.
