I have loved Rootsmagic since Family Origins stopped. Now that I can also use it on my Mac through Crossover, it’s even more wonderful for me. It’s easy to share information, easy to figure out relationships. And most of all, very easy to learn. Great all round.

Thank you for RM6, I just love it. Don’t know how I ever managed without it. Finally cleaning up 20 yrs of confusing data from other programs.

For ease of use, and intuitive connections, there is nothing better than RM — in almost any version. Absolutely the best on the market… and the price is good, too.

I really enjoy Roots Magic and just upgraded to Roots Magic 6 so I can get histories added as well. It’s so easy to use. It makes me excited to do geneology again. It also has made me work harder to scan documents and pictures so they won’t be lost.

I recently signed up for Roots Magic so I have not really tried it very much. I hope it will help me keep track of several ancestral lines.

Not much I could say here that I have not been saying since I started with RM3. Amazing program, does everything I ever wanted in Family History software and more. Absolutely the finest on the market.

I have used Roots Magic from the days of Family Origins before windows. It has always been software of which there is no equal. I have tried others, but always kept my Roots Magic.

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.

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 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 adaptabilty to meet the needs of a variety of family situations.
