Ancestry Software For Mac

It’s finally happening! As an avid Mac user, I’ve always hoped that would release a version of the software for the Mac. And it looks like this is my year. Today Ancestry.com announced that a Mac version is planned for release later this year. It will be built on the functionality of Family Tree Maker 2010 and constructed from the bottom up to take full advantage of the Mac platform in terms of technology and user experience. So what do you think?

Family Tree Software for Windows and Mac. Ancestral Quest (AQ) family tree software is the easiest to use and most versatile genealogy program for Windows or Macintosh on the market. Its format is perfect for the beginner and yet powerful enough for the most advanced genealogist.

But I was disappointed to learn that they are not willing to work with InSync’s software even though they have made a Mac edition. I am also disappointed that Reunion is not a vendor at the NGS conference I am attending.

I have been telling everyone I know to switch to a Mac (for many reasons), but the InSync incompatibility is a big issue for most people. I have never used Family Tree Maker, but I will be stopping by their booth tomorrow! I am warily optimistic about this product, but feel comfort in your statement that they are going to build this from the ground up. Mac has some great advantages if they will utilize them, but they need to think like a Mac user to do it. There is nothing worse than PC software “for the Mac”. My PC experienced the dreaded “blue screen” yesterday — but fortunately, with some help from Dell support, I was able to perform PC-CPR but I will be looking for a new computer this year.

A Mac version of FTM opens up the possibility of purchasing a Mac instead of a PC, something I was not previously considering due to FTM. If that transition is anything like my prior move from a Black Berry to an iPhone, I would welcome that change – for those who have not experience both it is hard to simply describe the difference, other than I will never, ever, go back.

Similar to other’s comments, it would be nice to know upfront that Ancestry.com’s plan is to build a Mac version of FTM which would allow for an easy and seamless transfer of existing PC based 2010 FTM file and images to the Mac version. Additionally, it would be helpful to know the estimated 2010 release timing for the Mac version (e.g., Aug, Dec.), understanding development and testing timeframe could cause the final release date to shift.

Thank you for sharing the exciting news! I have been waiting for so long for this to happen. I just purchased 2010 version for my PC but when it comes out for the Mac, I am definitely buying it. I am frustrated with iFamily at this moment.

You can’t just simply add a parent or child, you have to choose from a list (it took me a little to figure it out-I am Polish, seriously). I shouldn’t complain, it does have a lot of features that I really like though. But anyway, Thank You Everyone at Ancestry.com! I am looking forward to this new program being released. ROBERT QUICK b.
