Is this a stand-alone program similar to Ancestry.com or does it work WITH Ancestry?

RootsMagic 6 is a stand alone program and has nothing to do with Ancestry.com. Ancestry.com is a genealogy resource in helping you find ancestors.

I never heard of one - its a scanner with a built in program/app designed to co-ordinate your receipt/expense categories...it took me too much time to wait to scan - still use my 'shoebox' approach and 'organize' on my own spreadsheet every dozen weeks or so when I have a chunk of 'down time'. Just haven't made time to adapt.

I believe the only difference between the 3 versions is the amount of included access time on Ancestry.com. FTM 2008 Basic is 1 month; FTM 2008 Deluxe is 3 months; FTM 2008 Platinum is 6 months. Now, if this full access to EVERYTHING (don't know if it is but since it says premium access, I would think so) I pay $300 a year for full access to both US and International records. If the premium access is limited to just the US, it's still $180 a year. Therefore, FTM 2008 Platinum, with the current rebate offered, is a great deal for 6 months free access that is worth anywhere between $90 to $150 in REAL dollars! And believe me, with access to those billions of records at Ancestry's web site, you are guaranteed to find many of your ancestors! I would jump at this deal if I could, but I already have a yearly subscription and I'm using FTM 2008.

Hi Jessica, yes I just checked and tried it myself, you can search by the letter of the last name; not only that but by first name only, by address, by phone, by work place, work phone, fax number, email, web sites, city, cell phone, by more than I would have ever thought of. To me in my humble opinion, this is by far the best program EVER!! Truthfully, I still have not discovered everything it can do. I hope you go on their website and see a demo (I believe they have one) and all the fabulous features available. Plus, even better, you can back it up to any device you wish. I have it backed up on a flash drive, in DropBox.com and on an external hard drive. The reason is I have lost so many important things over the years due to computer crashes and my neglect to backup my data, so as you can see, I try to cover all bases and feel no shame that I have 2 to 3 locations for things that are very important to me. Hope this helps you and have a blessed day.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "No" because it makes you get a registration key and register your computer, unlike some other Corel software I have used. I may try it anyway and post back here with a definite answer.

http://rootsmagic.com/mac/ Do RootsMagic, Personal Historian, Family Atlas, or your other products run on a Mac? Yes - but with help. In fact, we have many happy Mac users of our family tree software. However, all of our software is currently designed to run on Windows operating systems. That's where "the help" comes in. What do you mean by "Help"? All Macs built since 2006 use the same microprocessors as Windows PCs. This means that you can install the Windows operating system on your Mac and run any Windows software. There are also other non-Windows options available.

I was very disappointed with this software and tossed it. I can't answer your question. I've wasted a lot of $$$ buying cheap and not so cheap software that promises great results but I ended up with poor quality results. I've been using Stitch ERA Universal, its been free to use online but that will stop in December, and one of their options is to buy a subscription for monthly use. If I need to scan anything, I use CorelDraw and import it into Stitch Era. I'm happy with the results and they've been professional quality. Good Luck!

It is best if you have it. Internet access will let you update the program. I believe you can run the program without doing this. Also, if you buy it and get the free state offer it is by download only. You have to pay if you want your state shipped by disc to you. You don't need it to submit your taxes, you can still print them out and send them in.

Not if you maintain the information in a local PC file rather than working through Ancestry.com's site. Use the product and keep the files to yourself on your PC and you won't lose anything.

The included software is called Temper. It is rudimentary but works reliably. I have one system set to email me from a remote site twice each day. It also creates csv files.

the Old version has no tie ins with ancestry.com.IOt also ahs a better entry page than the"newer' Versions(which tie in with ancestry.com and is now up to version 2014. The site ancestry.com contains numerous wrong items. They claim you will see a leaf and it brings up information on the highlighted person. I tried the newer version and the "leaf" information had no relation to the person . Example: I could be looking for George Washington (The first president) of Virginia and it gives me a George Washington Married to "Sue Smith" . We all know President Washington was married to Martha. Many consumer watchdog sites say thee same thing.The site ancestry.com amy shoe relevant info but insist you subscribe to actually see the info. Recently they had a free trial and I did try the free access and all people I searched brought no correct information.

Born/Chr Place Married Place Died Buried Place This is how it is listed for every person. I have not used it yet as I can't figure out how this works. I would buy a different one now that I can see this lay out. It may be that the problem is me....but this is very confusing. Hope this helps. I passed these out to family to do and no one has done one yet. But have worked on the family tree just not using this. AND no idea what(Chr)means.

No and that has caused us a great deal of pain. We had all of our addresses, anniversarys, etc on file. Tried a virtual machine thing but it would not transfer all the data We are still trying to work out a way If you have any ideas let us know irv8063@bellsouth.net

Thanks so much. Since I have 6 different genealogy files, and 3 of them all have over 800 pages, it looks like it might be a bit pricey, but...these are the best I've seen, so I will go ahead and order them. Wish the larger ones had a name plate on the outside. Again, my thanks...I know what to do now.

I have not found another program that manages all my personal accounts, investment accounts and rental accounts accurately with little accounting background. I can download information from my financial institutions and then reconcile them. At tax time I can import the data directly and usually only have to review and add information and file my information.
