RootMagic, a fully-featured genealogy software, is having their holiday deal, starting today through December 24th. It's a bundle for $30 USD.

Not sure about RootsMagic (RM)? Try their limited-featured version, called Essentials here: https://www.rootsmagic.com/essentials/

Here's the difference between the Essentials and the fully-featured RM:

Here's screenshots, etc:

If you like it, the holiday deal is here:

I don't use RootsMagic. It's not the program for me. The program for you is the one you like the best. So if you are not happy with your current genealogy software, take a look at RM.

P.S. I think they have a Mac version now.

RootsMagic does currently have a Mac version, version seven, but it only runs within a “wrapper” program .... can’t think of the name, lol ....so that it is not truly a Mac program but will run on a Mac. There is a new version eight that will be out sometime this next year that will be a native Mac version but be aware that the current version seven will not run on the new Mac operating system, Catalina. It simply will not open because Catalina only runs 64 bit apps.

Do you like Legacy better? Which do you use?

Hi, I don't use either one, although I own both (because of being a DNA admin).

My recommendation is to download both Legacy Family Tree (Standard) and RootsMagic (Essentials) and play around with both. Put in yourself, your parents, your grands. Make a mistake and marry yourself to your grandparent and see how it handles it. Have your grandparent die before they were born and see how the program handles it. Type in really long place names (Vila Franca do Campo, Sao Miguel island, Azores) and see how it handles it. Just play around with them and go with the one that seems to grab you, that you like best.

Hi Cheri,

Great Idea. I do use RootsMagic at the moment but will sure give the other a try and see how it handles and what features I get in comparison. Thanks!

Cheri,

The troubleshooting ideas are fabulous. That’s what we needed to evaluate the tree programs correctly from someone who’s tried the programs.   Thank you so much, you are the expert!
