Download MacFamilyTree 5.6.1 for Mac OS X

Mac developer Synium Software has released a new version of its flagship app, MacFamilyTree, a genealogy tool that lets users create family trees and display them in multiple ways. The product is shareware and costs $49.95.

Synium Software has made improvements across all charts and fixed issues like a resizing problem for OpenGL-based charts, a bug preventing picture record using the integrated iSight, as well as issues in the Database Maintenance Pane. Besides enhancing Person Merge, the company also incorporated bugfixes for the MacFamilyTree.com upload and MobileMe upload.

MacFamilyTree helps users document, store, and display information about their family. They can draw and print family trees, lists, cards, heritage charts, descendant charts and genograms. Mac users can also include multiple partners and people in the same relationships, while data is exported as HTML to build a web page, with many more export options being available. The GEDCOM 5.5 is the native file format.

Synium Software's genealogy program requires an ATI Radeon 7500, or GeForce 4 MX Graphics Card, or an Intel GMA 950 (or better). MacFamilyTree runs on Intel or PowerPC-based machines under Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later. A demo version of the desktop software as well as a demo for the iPhone / iPod touch client are available using the links below.

“Based on more than a decade of experience, MacFamilyTree 5 may be regarded as the most advanced genealogy application for the Mac and is fully compatible with GEDCOM for reliable exchange of genealogy information across OS boundaries,” Synium Software says.

MobileFamilyTree (the mobile / iPhone client) is a companion application for MacFamilyTree that helps users gather genealogy data whenever they want. MobileFamilyTree allows them to view, add and edit information and synchronize everything with the MacFamilyTree database on their Macs. Everything is done over the air, while the app requires a fully licensed installation of MacFamilyTree 5.2.3 or newer.
