I have used RootsMagic and its predecessor, Family Origins, successfully since 1991 and recommend it exclusively to anyone interested in genealogical research. With over 40,000 people in my database, I laud its ease of use and adaptabilty to meet the needs of a variety of family situations. Plus, it is constantly updated and upgraded through software development. Kudos to RootsMagic!!!

I’ve tried them all but have to say Rootsmagic is my favourite.

Roots Magic is a great genealogy program. Thank you for your good work that shows in the continuing improvement of each issue. I have been using it since Family Origins. Just downloaded RM6. Haven’t used it yet, but expect to enjoy the new version, with its added features.

We have used Roots Magic since Family Origins. It has been very helpful in tracking our family.

Roots Magic has always been the best and it only gets better. Programe for novices and expert alike.

RootsMagic is the best genealogy program out there, especially for beginners. This is the best genealogy program that I have used. Of the two others that I used, one did not keep up with the times and the other was just to convoluted to use. A BIG plus for RootsMagic is the ease of emailing the whole tree or portions of the tree to fellow family members or researchers. Keep up the good work.

I tried to document my electronic family history records since PAF v1 was available for my Commodore 128 with the CP/M module. It was brutal. Family Origins was light years ahead. When Roots Magic came into existance the documentation process became doable. I love the ease with which documentation can be entered and the variety of ways information can be connected to your ancestors in Roots Magic 6. It is wonderful to be able to include links to the original documents and pull them up with the click of the mouse.
