MacFamilyTree 5

I now have upgraded over the net to version 5.6.8 at no charge. They still have a few minor details to iron out but overall a good product. Once I learn the ins and outs Ill feel more comfortable using it. Support via e-mail is a little slow sometimes,but they do respond.

The choice for Family Tree programs for Mac seems to be a little limited. This program addresses the basics of entry and record OK, its the display side that lets it down. An instance being if a person has more than one partner in their lifetime the second partner is displayed on the far side of the family tree to their basic entry. The connection being made by a long and tenuous line right across the family tree. The other point on Display is the virtual family tree. When you have, maybe, hundreds of names in your tree the virtual tree becomes a mixed up and totally undecypherable load of junk. As far as I am concerned its a waste of space and memory. Cut it out, make the program more manageable, and a little cheaper, and fix the second partner issue, mentioned above, and it would be a reasonable program. As it is - 2 stars only Im afraid.
