Family Tree Heritage is a software package that is
intended, like many others, to enable you to make
accurate records of your family's history. At $29.95 for
the full version, it's not the most expensive we have
reviewed, but it's not exactly the cheapest either!
Family Tree Heritage is now in its seventh edition, so
we're pretty sure that it must already be popular with
genealogists. We were quite excited to review Family Tree
Heritage, because it sounded like a great software
package offering a wide range of useful features that
would appeal to the average user. It turns out we weren't
wrong either, so read on to check out what Family Tree
Heritage has to offer the modern-day genealogist.
Family Tree Heritage has a host of features that are
intended to support the average user in creating and
developing a comprehensive family tree. The software uses
a simple interface that has been developed along the
'windows' style, to make it easy to use for even novice
genealogists. While this is well intentioned, we can't
help feel that in terms of look, it's a little
amateurish. Features-wise, Family Tree Heritage allows
users to import their data from a range of different
sources (online genealogy databases and other genealogy
software) and also allows users access to a range of
online databases free of charge. While Family Tree
Heritage suggests that more than 1 Billion records are
available to view, our experience does make us wonder
what the quality of these records are (especially as the
website doesn't tell us what databases are available to
view!). Users can also make use of the automatic citation
generator, and create a number of useful charts and
reports to illustrate the outcome of your research.
While Family Tree Heritage does have a great range of
features, there isn't really a great deal that is that
original here. The software provides users with family
tree building technology, import and export powers,
charts, reports and more, but nothing that is
particularly innovative or new. That said, it's not a bad
package, and our only real quibble is the fact that it
looks a little unprofessional and unpolished. If you
would still like to give this site a go, hit the link

Otherwise, why not try out our highest rated site in this
category, Family Tree Maker'
