GENEALOGY SOFTWARE FOR MAC 2018 SOFTWARE
The list consists of most Mac genealogy software (in alphabetical order) that have been updated in the past year (and I’ll point out a few that have not been recently updated recently at the end). Most of these I’ve discussed in the past to differing degrees, but this is probably the first time I’ve listed them all together. I thought it would be useful to take a quick look at the genealogy applications available for Mac. Most knew about Reunion, and Family Tree Maker, but many did not know about others. One of the things I noticed at the meeting was that many of the people did not know about all the Mac genealogy software available. Hopefully both companies will bring their Mac version into sync with their Windows versions over time. MyHeritage wants to get a version out, but doesn’t want to wait until all the features they have built over the years in their Windows version, have been coded for the Mac. MyHeritage is working on the first Mac version of FTB, which will also not have all the features of their Windows version. Wilson also noted that the price of the Mac version, which is currently higher than the Windows version, would likely come into line with the Windows version. Ancestry is planning a new Mac version of FTM that is closer in feature-parity to the Windows version than previous versions. Both, by the way, are planning new Mac offerings by the end of the calendar year. Like two years ago, both Duff Wilson from Ancestry and Daniel Horowitz from MyHeritage spoke briefly about their future Mac offerings.
I first attended a Mac BOF meeting back in 2011 in DC. It was packed from one of the room to the other, thanks to the hard work of Doris Loeb Nabel and other volunteers.
Last night I attended the Mac BOF (Birds-Of-a-Feather) meeting. This week I’m attending the IAJGS Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Boston.
